Ziggurat

by Ivan Southall

Knut Mannerheim Canute, aged seventeen, disappears from his home after midnight on July 4, leaving no evidence that he went by compulsion or of his own accord. He awakens to another mode of existence, another face of time, another world he is left to explore. What is this world of Knut Canute? The blissful world of dreams fulfilled? Or a fractured universe of hope and despair?
