Synopsis: The story Simmons presented at the Clarion workshop in 1981, and which later won the Twilight Zone magazine competition. Set in a society able to resurrect the dead, it relates the story of a family dealing with the mother's return after her ceremonial burial. Although living, something essential appears to be missing from the resurrected.
