The man, though unsettled, walked back towards the graveyard. “Where are you?” he asked nervously. “Here, under this tombstone!” the voice replied. Shaking, the man slowly approached the tombstone. When he was close enough to make out the etching, he read the deceased’s name: “Bernie Sanders.”

But he was friends with Moses and I do know Moses.” Confused, Dan responded “But my grandfather died 25 years ago.
