He grinned when a shout went up over a missed call and joined the ranks of those screaming over the ref needing to go back to the high school leagues to learn the rules. It was one of the biggest heartbreaks of his version of the Finnegan gift - he'd been unable to attend any live sporting event since his power had manifested. As much as he wanted to cheer on the home team, his enthusiasm for the wind would occasionally get the better of him and he'd forget. After two goals that not one commentator had been able to explain, he'd stuck to watching everything on the tube instead.
Now, surrounded by several dozen screaming fans, it was, to his mind, just as good as seeing it live and in stadium. Maybe better given the lack of traffic going home.

You wouldn't believe how insistent they can be when they know they have an audience. And not all of them want help, or are pissed they're dead. Most are just hanging around waiting for loved ones and are looking for someone to help them pass the time. Not so bad, until they keep you up all night talking."
He grinned a little. "If a woman's going to keep me up at night, I'd rather it be for other reasons."

Her mom had died so long ago now that sometimes she couldn't even remember what she looked liked, what she sounded like, what she smelled like but some days it all felt like well, like it had happened yesterday.

His grandfather was there, a few lingering in the corners, and a barfly at the end of the bar giving a patron a case of gooseflesh that would probably make him move soon. Before any of them noticed him, he closed down that part of his sight and shook his head. "Not near you, no. There are a few hanging around, but none that seem overly interested in anyone. Just watching the living."
