Spiritual Observation

Dr. Joseph Barlington, is a Family Guidance Counsellor that has the special ability to see deep inside other people. He can see their spirits. He volunteers at Easingwold's St Monica's hospital in order to be as close to death as possible, for during most fatalities, he watches the spirit of the recently deceased depart this world in a display of pure joyous wonder. Throughout his life, he celebrates his ability in secret, focusing on the sheer elation of these transitions, until one day he is shown that not all spirits are willing or able to take that all important step to the next realm. Weaker spirits, small and dim to Joe's eyes, face a darker fate.
