Sterling Wilson grunted miserably. It had been here this morning. _Right_ here, on the low table next to the heavy lead box. He'd always been a reader, and didn't see why that had to change _now_. His habit was to take a book to bed, reading 'til his lids drooped. The only difference _now_ was that his eyes started drooping around six a.m. and his &quot;bed&quot; had sides. Having been a practical man when he lived, He'd started by hiring two men to drag his coffin to his grandparents' house, then eating them. Well, it was _his_ house now: his grandparents had been dead (_dead_ dead) for thirty years. The house had been shut for ages. Being practical, the first book he'd bought once he'd set up his &quot;bed&quot; was a self-help book, to help him adjust to his new lifestyle (there had to be a better word). Now his book was missing from where he'd left it before shutting the lid and drifting off... He snarled and bent low: on the carpet, a print in the dust that wasn't his or a late workman's: a tiny sneaker.
