About this ebook
Ronan is the new owner of the Starlight Bar & Grill in the mid western town of Broadwell City, Kansas, a small city just off I-70 and smack in the middle of nowhere. But on certain nights, when the storms rolled in, strange people would stop by. It was on one of those nights that a total stranger showed up and introduced himself as the ghost of his long dead best friend. But the next time he comes he has two others with him and that turns Ronan's world upside down and the true meaning of where he is and why becomes deadly clear.

Hi there Sci Fi fans, my name is Maurice Humphrey.I am a Vermont native, husband, father, grandfather, well over 60, Navy veteran, retired IBM engineer, retired printer repairman, Graduated: Goddard Jr. College, VT Technical College, and Trinity College. Over the years I’ve written technical articles, taught technical classes, and presented at technical conventions.I’ve been reading science fiction for over 50 years now. First books were “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” by Jules Verne and “The Stars Are Ours” by Andre Norton. I’ve read and collected many great stories, and a considerable amount of junk ones as well. I’d say by now that I probably have a good idea of what I consider a good story.

Ronan Sams stared out the front window of the Starlight Bar and Grill into the heavy driving rain. The occasional flashes of lightning were quickly followed by a booming that would rattle the glasses hanging over the bar; it was going to be one of those nights. Across the street the light had just turned red but there were still no headlights going by to really care what color it was.
There won’t be too many regulars in here tonight, he reflected as another flash of lightening was followed by a long thunderous rumble, most will stay home out of the weather. His thoughts wandered as he wiped off the top of the bar.
Tonight! Yes, tonight, he sighed, tonight will be one of those nights; tonight will be different, tonight one of them will come.
Over the years he had been working here, and in the few short months since he owned it, there had been nights just like this one when someone special would walk in the door just like they’d been coming here for years. Sometimes they would come alone, sometimes in a small group; but usually only once.
He would greet them and they would talk for awhile and then they’d leave and never come back. His thoughts turned back to one particular time when one of the strangers had appeared in his bar; but that time had been different. It had been a night just like this one when the door opened and a heavyset man in a rain soaked trench coat stepped inside. Without much of an effort he pulled the door shut behind him as if it had been a calm day outside. Yes, on one of these nights.
Ronan remembered, just like it was last night, how the man in the trench coat had quietly walked up to the bar his face obscured by the tilt of his hat pulled down over his forehead to keep it from blowing away. With somewhat of a flourish he had picked the hat off his head and let it drip for a moment on the floor before setting it on the empty barstool beside him. One hand brushed his rain soaked forehead sweeping his long grayish brown hair back from his face. His eyes were grey and piercing as he watched Ronan finish wiping the last of the glasses
