A Blast from the Past



A strange postcard showed up in our mailbox the other day. It was not a commercially available card, but was instead an image of an abandoned train station in Detroit—a place that I was very familiar with, but had never actually visited before.

On the back of the card was a simple hand written message—

“I am enjoying all of the new technology your human society has to offer. Let us meet at this ruin of a building on Monday, January 5, 2009, by your human reckoning. I am partial to the roof. 11:50 PM. You will remember me as the South Beach Slayer.

PS-I very much enjoyed your ‘story’ about me, I look forward to meeting you again.”

It appears that I have meeting tomorrow night with the same Doppelganger I met in the South Beach episode several years ago (updated version much more recent, see November’s archives). It is also apparent that he reads the blog and knows the address where we now reside. This could be very interesting.

I will post about the results of that meeting on Tuesday, unless I am not available to do so.
