Okay, bear with me on this one...
I just re-read "Faces" and had some more thoughts on "Buckets".
In "Buckets", Dr. Cantrell is confronted by the ghosts of the abortions he performed.
One of those ghosts is an unnamed 22 year-old daughter of Ellen Benedict.
That girl died before 1974.
The story takes place on Halloween and on a Wednesday.
Three possible years that fit that time frame are 1979, 1984 and 1990.
22 years before 1990 is 1968.
Supposing 1990 is the year-
Suppose the unnamed girl uses the day she died as her birthday.
We don't know when that was but it must be before October of 1968 and after October of 1967 in order for her to be 22.
If she hadn't been aborted, she might have naturally been born in early December of 1968. In Monroe.
Am... am I seeing too much into that to make a connection?
