Here and Hereafter

In a quiet English village, a weary doctor receives an urgent call late on a Saturday night. He meets Mr. Tarn, a solid‑built farmer clad in a faded mustard suit, who explains that his wife—an outsider from a distant land—has taken a sudden, grave turn for the worse. With little time and a stark, isolated farmhouse awaiting them, the physician must decide whether to brave the rugged downs to reach a home that seems to exist at the edge of the map.

The journey unfolds over a moonlit road and a rutted turf track, offering a glimpse of the landscape’s stark beauty and the uneasy tension between familiar routine and an unfamiliar, unsettling situation. As the doctor approaches the lonely homestead, the narrative invites listeners to ponder how far one will go when duty collides with prejudice, and what hidden forces may lie in the shadows of Felonsdene.
