      DEATH AND LIFE IN A LONG HOT DAY

      Ghosts, it seemed, felt the heat as well as anyone else.

      Sort of seemed logical that ghosts wouldn’t be bothered by such things as a hot day, but we are. And even worse, since food tasted better for ghosts and senses were more intense, we ghost felt heat and cold in more extreme ways as well.

      And trust me, when it got hot in Las Vegas, it got really hot for normal, live people. Heat rolling in waves off the concrete kind of hot.
