Biography

Guy Jacobson is a garbage man. He works for the City of San Francisco, as a substitute driver. The sub driver’s a crappy job, sometimes he’s all alone with no rider, but he don’t complain. He’s been working the job for about 25 years. Guy’s a good union man, makes a decent living, goes home to his wife and kids in Alameda. He’s the treasurer of the Alameda Rotary Club afternoon chapter.

And he’s got a secret. A big one. When he touches things, sometimes, he gets a vision about ‘em. Where they been, what they done. And one time, he picked up this big old book outside this fancy house in the Sunset, and whoo-wee! The things that book told him! Ever since then, he’s been tinkering in his man cave with things like that big book, some crystals he found, other junk he picked up on his routes. You’d be surprised, the stuff these City rich folks’ll toss. His wife, Jolene, thinks it’s a mid-life crisis, these things he’s makin’.

But he's seen some things he can’t forget. Bodies, some missing parts. Dudes who look like movie monsters. Dumpsters with holes punched clear through ‘em. He tried explaining the dumpsters to Joseph, his super, but that white boy just looked at Guy like he was nuts. That made Guy think… there’s some crazy out there, and somebody oughta do something ‘bout it. Somebody like him, maybe. Just don’ tell Jolene.
