The lack of people was the first clue that something was wrong.

Stephen had recognised the waterfall as soon as they’d stepped through the anomaly, but ten years ago, on a geology field trip, there had been coach-loads of tourists everywhere.

The man in the red jacket seemed unsurprised by their sudden appearance.

“So, there are other survivors,” he said in slightly accented English. “I had almost become accustomed to an empty world.”

There were times when Stephen had wondered if an empty world would actually be preferable, but the look in the man’s eyes suggested that wasn’t the case.

Oooo, nice juxtaposition of the wonderful scenery with the emptyness.

Glad the OC has found people! And the musings about being alone were very well done

Intriguing drabble and it seems like they're relieved to have found one another.

It would be good to see Stephen anyway, but especially for that poor man left alone for so long.

Nice one. Hopefully Stephen and the other man will find their way back to their world.

Not prefereable at all, Stephen, dear.

Love the relief in the man's eyes. He's saving Stephen too.
