Keith Abbott woke up in his garage in Colorado. He always liked being in the garage because it was where he could work. Except now his garage was not his own garage. Ever since he died the garage had become foreign territory. This didn’t stop him from continuing to like his garage on 1046 Grant Street , but what flummoxed him was that he kept looking for his notebook. He could not find it. Maybe he left it at the bar.
