Finisterre

For twenty five years, since the death of his lover, Thomas Carlyle has drifted from dead-end job to dead-end job. But when he meets a stranger on the subway, and the stranger tells him a secret, he can ignore his grief no longer.

Somewhere, no more than a pen stroke away, his past may be waiting … in Finisterre.

This is a short story.

This story is not suitable for children.

Reviews

"Patrick Samphire's 'Finisterre' is one of the finer examples of how to turn a conceit into a story: what if something lost still exists, somewhere else?"
- Alan Lattimore, Tangent Online.

"...the style is strong. Samphire builds his intriguing premise without a hitch, easing into it, and coming full circle to a very satisfying conclusion. The only serious complaint I have is that Finisterre is too good an idea to leave off with this one story."
- Bluejack.

"An intriguing tale."
- David Schwartz.
