Phil Allard

In this compelling work of fiction, Author and Educator Phil Allard introduces us to the orderly life of Thomas Merrill, a sixty-two-year-old high school science teacher from Savannah, Georgia.

When a medical emergency sends Thomas on a harrowing ambulance ride and a touch-and-go procedure on the cold steel table of the emergency room, he is miraculously revived and returned to the comfortable routines of his daily life.

Or is he?
