People returned for more. They wanted their own ghosts displayed and set free; they loved the way Dixie’s performance made their private lives public property for a single, shimmering evening.

They brought whatever they could: a threadbare photograph, a rusted locket, the last orange of a stash. Dixie found the jar reappearing in her trunk like a tide.
