After an apparent fatal drowning, Lincoln Parker wakes up alive, fully intact and drenched in the seawater of San Diego Beach. Confused, disorientated and alone, he staggers into the nearest bar only to discover ten years has passed since his disappearance in 1935. Yet, as he stumbles towards a mirror, he learns that his body has not aged one day since his ‘drowning’. Shocked, appalled and with no money or contacts, he is left lingering in the shadows performing odd jobs here and there in order to gather some stability; one of which being a seat filler.

The tables are turned: having magically stopped aging in the 19th century, Lilly Linton is no longer the secretary slaving for cold, stone-faced business-magnate Rikkard Ambrose. Now, in the 21st century, the roles are reversed. In their fierce struggle for control, who will emerge on top? In this short story, everything about your favourite characters from Robert Thier’s story ‘Storm and Silence’ is turned on its head. A hilarious little trip into the madness of alternative realities.
