Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see Ghosts gliding between the lines. There must be Ghosts all the country over, as thick as the sand of the sea.... We are, one and all, so pitifully afraid of the light.

—From Ghosts by HENRIK IBSEN

Saturday morning Martin lounged on his thrift-store couch in his plaid flannel lounge pants and large “Programmers do IT better” t-shirt reading more about what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance,” quantum entanglement, and the theory of hidden nonlocal variables. He found the notion that there could exist a simultaneous superluminal connection between all points in space interesting and mind boggling, but not useful.

He wanted practical information on how to talk to, and otherwise care for, ghosts: the sort of article that appeared monthly in men’s and women’s magazines in reference to the other gender. The more scientific articles never approached the subject, and the others just seemed ridiculous. Why would a ghost care if you were wearing loose clothing or had consumed caffeine? He wasn’t giving up his morning Red Bull for anything. He decided he was on his own. If there were any real information out there, he would never be able to tell the signal from the noise.

Not sure what to do with himself, he rattled around in his apartment, wondering if he should get out and do something. He did housework and laundry, but the cave seemed exceptionally empty and lonely. So he did what he usually did when he felt empty and alone, he fired up his game console and immersed himself in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Sometime late in the evening, amid the bleak, de-saturated ruins of an irradiated office building, Martin pillaged a floor full of grimy cubicles, opening desks and filing cabinets, searching for loot, when what he thought was a body came to life and attacked him. His subconscious seized this inspiration and spit out a solution. No one would try to move into Millie’s cubicle if they thought someone was already occupying it. He had a mission for the next day: Occupy Millie’s Cube.
