Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886 – 1945) was a British  theologian, novelist, poet, playwright, and literary critic. He was also a member of the “The Inklings”, a literary discussion group connected to the University of Oxford, England. They were exclusively literary enthusiasts who championed the merit of narrative in fiction and concentrated on writing fantasy. He was given an scholarship to University College London, but was forced to leave in 1904 because he couldn't afford the tuition fees.

He wakes to find himself in the hospital of a small town in Montana.

He learns that he has been in a coma for weeks and that his friend’s remains have already been sent back to California for cremation.
