Scenarist Koepp (Jurassic Park) smoothly adapts a novel by Richard Matheson (What Dreams May Come) with vagrant similarities to The Sixth Sense.

With Nation editor Priscilla Painton prodding them to think unconventionally and dig deeper, they spent months scouting out stories and reporting them in depth. She and Steve Koepp, in addition to spending time on the bus, edited the issue.
