    About this ebook

    Baird the convicted rapist knows no peace. Ten years of haunting by the digital ghost of his victim, Frieda, have left him a basket case…but freedom awaits. If he can just make it till tomorrow, his sentence will end, and the digital ghost will become vaporware. But Frieda has no intention of leaving quietly, and the going-away present she has in store for Baird could be far worse than the digital nightmare he has already endured. Don't miss this story by award-winning STAR TREK and DOCTOR WHO writer Robert Jeschonek, a master of unique and unexpected science fiction that really packs a punch.

      FOUR SOGGY BUMS, we sat in the lodge, squeezed together on a two-person sofa. Our waterproofs were soaked with rain on the outside and dripped with sweat within. By September, it was our routine. After a long day on the hill, we’d slump in front of t

      Happy anniversary, Baird!  The old woman's voice whispered in his ear.  Congratulations, sweetheart!

      Baird rolled over in bed without opening his eyes.  He knew she was standing over him, watching for his reaction.  She'd done it a million times before.

      Baird wasn't going to fall for her game anymore, though.  He knew it wasn't his long-awaited anniversary. Not for one more day.

      He just wanted some damned sleep.  Not that Frieda would give it to him.

      Wakey wakey, darling boy, she said.  It's the first day of the rest of your life!

      Baird opened his eyes.  He didn't need to roll over to see Frieda, because she'd jumped into his line of sight.

      She crouched alongside his bed, beaming angelically at him, haloed in the morning sunlight streaming through her tiara of wispy white hair.  There wasn't a hint of cruelty on her broad, flat face, not even a nasty twinkle in her bright blue eyes. She looked the same as always, right down to the sky-blue housedress with white polka pots.  She spoke with complete sincerity and deep, heartfelt affection.

      Welcome back to the world of the waking, dear sleepyhead! said Frieda.  Don't want to miss your anniversary day, do you?

      Baird coughed and sat up in bed.  As he reached for a cigarette from the pack on the bedside table, he saw the time on the clock radio:  5:45 A.M. Too damn early, as always.

      He was exhausted but knew he was lucky.  Frieda
