Interior text

Death was moments away...

The bellowing mob pressed toward him and the noose tightened about his neck. Fear had frozen him solid. He could not even raise his hands to loosen the rope. He could not even scream.

There was an explosion of silence — a split second, not of blackout, but of unawareness, and suddenly he was alone.

There was no grass.

There were no trees.

There were no men, nor any sign of men.

Astonishment numbed his brain as it tried to grasp the significance of what had happened. Then the full horror of it struck him.

He has gone back in time. He was now in the past. But it was a dead past, and he was the only living thing existing in this moment on earth.

He, and nothing else.
