Most citizens are permitted one day off per week and it’s one such day that Julian meets Taal, a visitor on reconnaissance from another dimension.<br><br>This chance meeting fills Julian with feelings he’s never had before. He takes an instant liking to this handsome visitor and the attraction is mutual. He manages a few more meetings with Taal and the two men plot Julian’s escape to the beauty and freedom of Taal’s dimension.<br><br>But things rarely go to plan. Julian’s been smart, but has he been smart enough to outwit the all-seeing, all-powerful Archon overlords and their human puppets? There is no such thing as a small risk. Taal and Julian’s escape plan will either end in spectacular happiness or abysmal disaster. Many citizens wouldn’t even try it. But Julian isn’t just any citizen.

Another Dimension

“Citizen James, while not all on this panel are in agreement, we have to, at this stage, take you at your word and release you. However, you should know that the Department of Justice shall be keeping a very close eye on you. That is all. You may go.”


Julian stood up and nodded respectfully to the panel before being escorted out of the room and back down the corridor to the lift. Once inside, he heaved an enormous sigh and felt the tension that had turned his muscles to rock slowly dissolve. It had been a close call and as the doors to the lift slid open again he vowed to be more careful next time because there certainly was going to be a next time. Taal represented more than a distraction to his dull existence. Taal represented freedom and Julian was determined to do all he could to escape into its wide-open arms.
