Where There Are No Roads

A bloody basement. A drifting boat. A stranger with stories of a shared dream.

The dawn after a disastrous night, a young man walks free from a fisherman's hut and finds a chance to get away. A loose boat is drifting by the jetty and a stranger is offering to help.

Between the clifftops and the open water, beyond the violence of the night, stars and stories shift the universe and everything changes forever. Yet what's done is still done and someone is going to pay.

And if he believes the stranger's story, will it help him to put things right or to sail away for good?

Part of The Falling Awake Mysteries series, Where There Are No Roads is a compelling short story set over one night by the sea.
