Momma coughed a lot more lately but quieterwhile Daddy prayed harder and harder over her. There was nothing Aaron could do but be in the way. Outside itwas easier not to think about Momma — Aaron liked the hot Nevada summer days. Sometimes the other moms atthe park were nice to him too.He saw the fat man sitting on the swing. The stranger had dark glasses shaggy dark hair down over his ears awhite suit with spangles all over it and a big cape like Supermans. Except the cape was white and shorter. Aaroncould see the park right through the fat mans white suit kind of the same way he could see things when he walkedaround with his t–shirt over his head.Aaron was a little afraid and a little curious all mixed together so he went over to the swings. Hey mister yougonna sit there all dayThe fat man looked at Aaron his eyes hidden behind the big dark glasses. He seemed surprised. You can see meSorry son. Ill move on. He gathered his weight and stood. The bottoms of his boots floated slightly above theground. The fat man looked lost and lonely. Aaron knew how that felt.You dont need to leave Aaron blurted. I dont mind you being here.Thats mighty nice of you son. The fat man had a rich voice like listening to chocolate cake talk. He settled backon to the swing. Is there anything I can do for youAaron knew the fat man was a ghost. Hed never seen one but everyone knew you could see right through ghosts.He wasnt scared now — his Momma had become more of a ghost than this fat man. Aaron tried to remember whathed heard about ghosts. Youre supposed to help someone before you can go to Heaven rightThe fat man looked disappointed as if hed expected Aaron to say something else. Thats not quite it but nearenough I reckon.Aaron imagined money candy Disneyland. Cool. What can you do for meNot much son. Show myself sometimes. Talk. The fat man tried to smile which made him look even sadderthan before. Sing.That sounded so stupid to Aaron. Sing What good is thatThe ghost glanced away from Aaron
