****
He’s shocked that the beautiful girl in the picture is alive…
Maybe the stories of the notorious Route 66 are true. Road trips don’t result in encountering ghosts, but they do for Collin Bird. When he spies a beautiful girl hitchhiking during a thunderstorm, he can’t believe his eyes. It’s Rosemary, a young woman from his Ojibway community who went missing over forty years ago.
Rosemary Kakeway is dead. Her only hope to reach the spirit world is Collin. Before departing to the place of her ancestors, she seeks vengeance against her killers, and Collin is the man to help her do just that.
A ride with Rosemary through pea-soup fog brings Collin to 1977, where he meets a very much alive nineteen-year-old Rosemary. The bold and wild girl is nothing like he imagined her to be as she introduces him to a time he embraces. Knowing they are meant to be together, neither wishes to say goodbye, but that’s up to Rosemary’s spirit in the twenty-first century to decide.

This couldn’t be happening. Maybe he was delusional. The storm must be having some kind of effect on him.
I’ve been waiting.
Wait, she’d spoken. No, not spoken. Her lips, the color of ripe raspberries, hadn’t moved. She had penetrated his head.
Hold up, if she was dead, how’d she manage to slip inside the car, and, well…sit? Ghosts had no physical elements to them. Didn’t they float around?
I am here. With you. Finally, someone called, and I answered.
“Wh-what do you mean, called?” His teeth rattled so hard, he expected them to fall off.
My feather fan. You used it to call me.
“I did?” He glanced down at the fan and picked it off the console between them.
Yes. I’ve been waiting and waiting for someone to call. And you did.
“Wh-why are you here? Why aren’t you…?” Should he say in the spirit world?
Come with me.
“Go with you where?” This was getting spookier and creepier by the minute.
To where I rest.
Holy shit, she was dead. She was dead and couldn’t get to the spirit world. What else would possess her to hang around on the Great Mother?
“Everyone’s worried about you…ever since you went missing…your sister never gave up hope…it’s why she gave me your feather fan…she thinks you’re alive…at least I think she does…they told me about you…your story…” The words never stopped vomiting from Collin’s mouth, because his mind couldn’t stop racing.
I need your help.
“My help?” He settled his shaking hand on his chest that wheezed up and down.
She nodded. We must go to where they buried me.
“Who buried you? What happened?”
It’s a long story. One I will tell you once we reach the place where they left me.
“Who are they?”
You will know in time. For now, start driving.
“B-but why haven’t you appeared to anyone before? Your sister’s held this fan many times.”
She’s too far away. Too far away from where I’m buried. I can’t leave this place. I can only move so far from my grave.
His mouth dried. He clutched the feather fan tighter. Somehow this object allowed her to reach out to someone in the physical world. But she hadn’t been able to until… He gulped.
