Murdered, Quibble becomes invincible. He is no longer restrained by gravity or the speed of light or expectations. He tracks the man who murdered him to a rundown bar two hundred miles from Quibble's hometown. In an instant, Quibble is in the bar, on a stool beside the murderer. There is a woman at the end of the bar trying to unshackle herself from moral restraint. A grinning underage boy sheepishly drinks. The bar top looks second-hand, with history. Quibble orders a beer, but no one hears him. The ceiling has an intoxicating checkered design. He might stay a while.
