Human reproduction has ceased and society slowly spirals in this “adult Lord of the Flies” by a Grand Master of Science Fiction (San Francisco Chronicle). After the “Accident,” all males on Earth become sterile. Society ages and falls apart bit by bit. First, toy companies go under. Then record companies. Then cities cease to function. Now Earth’s population lives in spread‐out, isolated villages, with its youngest members in their fifties. When the people of Sparcot begin to make claims of gnomes and man‐eating rodents lurking around their village, Greybeard and his wife set out for the coast with the hope of finding something better.

Do you believe in ghosts, restless spirits; that they sometimes linger because they have unfinished business? Perhaps they seek retribution. Perhaps they simply can’t let go of the love they left behind. Some who cross Greybeards path never live to tell their story. Others revered the ghost man who appeared to save them in their moment of need. For Greybeard it is both of these reasons that he lingers. Retribution and pure love. He searched the highways until he found Letty the love of his life. The woman he would have married and Jimmy the son he never knew. Greybeard has returned for Letty in her final hour of need. His love is everlasting.

The words life before death may be a very obvious thing to say or perhaps taken out of context until you factor in a ghostly being. Many of you by now have read Douglas Greyson AKA Greybeard’s story of his search for lost love and retribution as he wandered the dark roads of Route 66 near Arizona starting in the late eighties.

Better yet why did he leave so many people touched and impacted by his presence one way or the other. This is a story of a man who refused to die.
