The classic story about the bloke who could. In this tale you are crouched in the middle of an immense hurricane. Houses, animals, trees sweeping past you, and you suddenly realize that you have tampered with the Universe, that you are bringing about the destruction of the World. Lovely British accents in this tale with a message. A delightful little story that is far from the typical Escape style of thriller. Escape with us now to a placid English village in the company of an equally placid little man who one day shook the world as HG Wells told it in his story.
