A listener known as TM, an office manager at a Catholic parish along the upper Mississippi River, recounts her experience digitizing cemetery records by walking the rows with a camera and politely greeting the dead. She discovered a grave that appeared nowhere on the cemetery's plot map: a boy who drowned in the river in 1936, whose stone bore fresh flowers despite there being no office file on him. One July afternoon, something unseen made its presence known to her, suggesting the forgotten boy did not want to be overlooked.
