Description

The leprosy hospital and its chapel, for a long time some distance outside the city walls, have been brought inside. But when Beth receives a letter from the department of Health and Safety Security, most of the patients will find her news very hard to hear.
This story is taken from the collection, Beacons: Stories For Our Not So Distant Future, which challenges celebrated writers to consider the climate crisis. All author royalties will be donated to the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition.
