Tom tells his tale from the point of view of a narcissist that can see everything but change nothing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story opens with Tom's wife, Beth, receiving a shipment of duck eggs. She has watched a YouTube video and was charmed by the idea of hatching a duck egg using her body temperature. She believes, either consciously or subconsciously, that hatching an egg will cure her malaise and set her on the path to finding joy. However, when she mistakenly orders a dozen eggs, she must find other people, who like her, are looking for something. She renames her project a \"happiness experiment\" in order to lure others to join her and posts it on Facebook. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn unlikely group replies to Beth's post: her handyman, a young mother and her three young daughters and a mysterious man. They join her in wearing a hatching belt and egg. Each with their own private desire. Tom, derisive of the experiment, but supportive of Beth, takes a keen interest in each participant. In trying to discover their motives, he begins to learn about himself, what kind of man he was and what kind of ghost he wants to be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a story of how the human-animal bond can heal, connect and redeem us all -\u003cbr\u003eeven possibly a very jaded ghost!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heidi K.
