After Tom's Grandad dies Tom's family tell Tom what dead is: that it is forever; that it is like Grandad's battery ran down and stopped; what a coffin is; what a funeral is; what happens after death. Tom's family also include him in the decisions about the funeral. Tom remembers special things about his Grandad, but worries that Grandad doesn't know he's dead. Tom writes Grandad a letter telling him, and then dreams about Grandad. The letter floats through the air into the night.
