Tampa Bay, Florida. A lonely widow places an ad for a ghost to haunt her. A guilt-stricken teen looks for redemption as a lifeguard after failing to prevent his sister’s drowning. A disillusioned soldier battles a hurricane while reckoning with his family’s military inheritance.In these explorations of grief and ghosts, Mario Aliberto III’s debut flash fiction collection is itself a visitation, inviting us to commune with those that haunt us, the living and the dead. Set amongst the sweltering heat and rich culture of Tampa Bay, these stories invite the reader to ask how much of yourself would you give up to hold on to those you love?
