"Let's go spend the night doing something stupid and suicidal."

Welcome to September. Half the month is already gone, and that means it's time for another mile along the route that runs from Sparrow Hill to the Last Chance Diner; it's time to take another trip in the company of Rose Marshall, crankiest hitchhiking ghost this side of the Atlantic Ocean. We only have four more stops before we reach the end of this particular road trip, and things are getting a little darker all the time.

Issue 57 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the ninth of the Sparrow Hill Road stories is available. "Last Train" marks the return of someone Rose was really hoping she wouldn't have to see again, and more, the payment of a debt she knew would come due sooner or later. It's going to be a bad night all around.

There are a lot of stories trapped and tangled in the twilight. This is only one of them. But it's the one I have to tell.

Welcome to the ghostroads.

Yes. Yes she is.

I'm sure Rose is glad she doesn't have that hanging over her head anymore, though... (omgwhat, there are only three left, aren't there? :o)
