Elsewhere is a short story that explores a desperate quest, memory, and the elaborate stories we construct to cope with profound loss.
The story follows Martin, a man driven by recurring dreams to seek out a mysterious gate, path, and railway carriage in an ancient forest. Guided by the obsessive mantra “there’s always a gate, there’s always a path, there’s always a carriage,” he abandons his comfortable life to pursue this vision that has haunted his sleep for months. When he finally discovers the impossible - a pristine vintage railway carriage sitting incongruously among ancient trees - he boards it only to encounter Alicia, a woman from his past who had warned him not to follow.
