Labyrinth

Oliver Thomson

I have lived many lives
I was a man, I was a woman
I was a hunter, I was a farmer
I was both free and a slave, rich and poor
a sailor, a soldier, a fisherman, a merchant and a priest.
And once when the world was young, I was a king.

Born in the year 2089, Theo finds himself reliving lives from prehistoric to modern times. Sometimes a king, sometimes a slave, he finds the experience casts a strange light on his own disintegrating world.
