My writing

Will Johnstone’s seventy-year-old consciousness finds itself back in his twelve-year-old body as it is about to suicide – an event he remembers differently. His ‘old brain’ pulls back from the act and resumes his much younger self’s troubled life. It is soon apparent that there are yet more subtle differences between the world he remembers and the one he now finds himself in – and these differences accumulate. Through his friendship with Col, Will finds himself caught up in events at the edge of a different Cold War.

This story contains some physical child abuse and suicide ideation.
