Summary
Ever wonder how to break the ice in a morgue? Lance Anderson might have a clue or two (if you’re brave enough to ask). Raised in a home filled with unexpected visitors of the see-through variety, Lance eventually made a career out of coexisting with the dead—literally. In his nightly forays, he learned there are far worse inconveniences than late-night snackers. After all, how do you ask a restless spirit to kindly keep it down?
Lance recalls the strange encounters that molded his childhood and shaped his unusual vocation. From creaking floorboards that groan at all the wrong hours to morbid humor in the morgue, Lance proves that not every departing soul is ready to depart. And sometimes, it just takes the right kind of mortal to show them the way. This is Part Two of our conversation.
