I stood in the center of the room and stared at the empty walls, walked around the near-empty space, and realized that hanging photos was the only task left. I decided it was time to finally address reality. The only thing slowing me down was fear. And if Charles were here, he would quote one of his long-dead presidents with something like, “The only thing to fear is fear itself.” I didn’t totally agree. I had a fear of falling off a cliff. It seemed that the fear wasn’t of fear itself, but of falling and the abrupt and quite fatal encounter with the ground. Regardless, Charles would tell me to get on with it, overcome my fear of possible failure, and get the gallery opened. It was even more scary to be guided by the WWCD system: What Would Charles Do!

I also realized we weren’t getting closer to a leading candidate for the murder of Palmer. To the contrary: the list was increasing. Steven Hogan, someone from the Preserve the Past gang, and now Harry Lucas. At least Amelia Hogan’s name had been removed, I supposed.

Was last night really an attempt on our lives? I wondered. Is my headache real or imagined? I hung two photos and headed home.
