Shortly after moving into the attic, Gilman begins experiencing bizarre dreams in which he seems to float without physical form through an otherworldly space of unearthly geometry and indescribable colors and sounds. Gilman theorizes that the structure can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another. The dimensions of Gilman's attic room are unusual and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry. Gilman discovers that, for the better part of two centuries, many of the attic's occupants have died prematurely. The house once harboured Keziah Mason, an accused witch who disappeared mysteriously from a Salem jail in 1692. The first part of the story is an account of the house's history.

Decades later, the program, under the tutelage of one of Jonathan's former students, continues to break ground. Jonathan was asked to be founding director and, along with his team, published extensively in the area of behavioral medicine. The success of that venture led to the establishment, in 1977 of the Psychosocial Program, Division of Oncology, the first comprehensive approach to the emotional aspects of pediatric cancer anywhere in the world.

When Neil Strauss’s blockbuster book about pickup artistry came out a decade ago, I was a Midwestern ingenue in New York City, and I read it mostly as a defensive measure. “If all goes as planned,” the first replies. “I want you to hear vibrations that affect my emotions.” “So that mine are also affected?” the alien’s friend asks. In another drawing, an alien gives an earbud to a friend. “Thank you-lowering my defenses,” the reading alien says with a jaunty hand gesture. “Well I hope you are devastated,” the friend says, warmly. “If I am successful I will be despondent upon completion.” One is sitting in a chair, reading a book the other is just poking its head in, as if to say hello: “What are you doing?” The reading alien looks up from its book. Two aliens with bodies like slim light bulbs encounter each other against a bubblegum-pink background.
