Bepin Behari was a man of habit. Every evening at 6 PM, he would walk past the grumbling trams of Calcutta, step into the dusty warmth of Bina Library , and run his fingers over the spines of new arrivals. He sniffed the glue and yellowing paper like a sommelier testing wine. Bepin did not believe in ghosts, and he certainly did not believe in PDFs.

He never got a reply. But the next morning, a new folder appeared in his Drive. Inside was only one file: How_to_Keep_a_Ghost_as_a_Bookmark.pdf

“Bepin, I know you hate PDFs. But I’m stuck on the other side, and there’s no paper here. Just screens made of starlight. Don’t be angry. Turn to page 78 of Kipling.”

It was blank except for a single line at the bottom:

“You already know how. Turn the page.”

“Send me the instruction manual for how to miss you less. EPUB or PDF, I don’t care anymore.”
