Chapters 9-12 Summary

Gordon steps out of his body, surprised that he's still conscious, though he is dead. He is upset at the stupid expression on his body's face and tries to fix it, but he cannot easily manipulate physical objects. In a rage, he ends up strangling his own dead body. He manages to make the face look worse instead of better, and he's left bruise marks on his body's neck. Gordon realizes that the phone line to Susan's answering machine is still open, and he tries to talk to her. He can't handle the phone, though, and after getting a few words in, he accidentally hangs up. After sitting in a depressed stupor for a while, Gordon decides to try to get to his cabin. When he gets out of the car, he sees that his body is missing.
