    About this ebook

    Ralph Willington sleeps alone on a couch, a banished man. His wife has confined herself to their room and refuses to speak to him or eat. As his dreams become more vivid, it begins to dawn on Ralph what he has done, what he has made. As the object in the fridge calls to him, an involuntary visit to his younger days and a growing angry presence will reveal what he cannot see.
