1. Attacked
Attacked on a train, a young man is knocked unconscious. So begins his surreal journey in a coma鈥� Read by Tom Goodman-Hill.
A young man, Carl, is beaten up on a train late one night.
As he falls into a coma, we travel with him on his journey through the bizarre world of his subconscious as he struggles to wake up.
Alex Garland's surreal fantasy explores the lucid, but powerless workings of the mind of a coma patient. It plays tricks on both the story's protagonist and the listener.
First of five parts read by Tom Goodman-Hill.
