"A psychopomp is one who ferries the dead to the underworld. Or wherever they go after they die. That part is really not up to me, as I just guide them," she explained. "Today I had to spend the last bit of my shift convincing a man that he was actually dead. He had a sudden heart attack and kept assuring me that 'he'd feel right as rain tomorrow, so move along little lady.'"
She grimaced. "I missed four others because of dealing with that man, so there will be four restless spirits in the world tonight haunting their family. The lucky ones don't realize they are dead and just go about their business. Some of them get angry."
Karen shook her head, causing her long dark hair to ripple. "What do you do?"
