"Eric, are you ready to travel to a place you've never been before?" Mathew Masters asked, loud enough for the whole audience to hear. "Are you ready to do something truly magical? Are you ready, Eric, to vanish not somewhere, but Elsewhere?"

This playful story mixes the mundane and the fantastical, as Eric is given an amazing choice: to go back to his old life of school, his so-called mates and being kept awake by his baby sister, or to take a step into the unknown.
