The Man In The Hat
It’s the first day in a new town. The movers set a box of books into Alicia’s room that did not come with her. An old poem titled “The Man in the Hat” drops out of one of the books. Unknowingly, Alicia invites him back into our realm when she reads the poem. He visits her that night. She has three nights left.
