My dearest daughter,

You know the way sometimes you're testing the water for a shower, and there seems to be a shiver in the air, even though a thick mist has already gathered on the medicine cabinet mirror, and just then you sense a ghostly presence in the room, right behind your shoulder, bathing all your actions in a serene, unworldly glow, and automatically you glance around and softly call out "mom"?

Well, that's not me. It's your great-uncle Marvin. And you know what he was like. So be careful now, is all I'm saying.

Your loving mother,
Anne
