   Summary

   On a tropical island in the middle of July, Simon Cambrone was stabbed to death by his school mates. Jack spent the next 72 years, 919 months, and 27,987 days of his life in mourning and regret. He'd gone back to school, graduated, got a meaningless job and is married off. He had everything: a gorgeous wife and two happy healthy kids but he was miserable. He’d spend the rest of his life seeing a ghost of Simon. The last thing he sees is Simon’s blurry ghost before his eyes close for good. Or so he thought.
   ~
   A hand on his shoulder is shaking him awake and as his eyes open he’s seeing trees and sand.
