Wrong Gate

By Adam Bender

A businesswoman rushes to make her connection at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which at 17,207 acres is larger than the island of Manhattan! Will she reach her final destination?

In the spirit of Lost and The Twilight Zone, "Wrong Gate" is a humorous short story with a terrifying twist from the critically acclaimed author of The Wanderer and the New West, Divided We Fall, and We, The Watched. Adam Bender wrote the story during NaNoWriMo 2019, based on a title prompt by a reader of his email newsletter.
