Another Chance
by Hazel Goss
Phil, a junior surgeon, falls through a picture drawn by a pavement artist. He swims to a beach and is rescued by a man in a battery powered boat. When he arrives at a landing stage he is welcomed by a crowd of people. He has no idea where he is but is told it is, ‘another dimension’. All the buildings are log cabins, even the small, well-equipped hospital where he is told he must work.
Phil’s phone is dead. He cannot contact his family because there are no computers. No money is used. People eat for free at the diner. There are no alcoholic drinks and smoking is not allowed. Everyone is vegetarian and it is environmentally green.
The area looks familiar. It is like the Tyne estuary with its Black Midden rocks, but there are no lighthouses and no ocean-going ships.
Can Phil return to his own world? Does he want to when he has met Alice, a young widow and her beautiful daughter, Sandy?
