Preface
The giant Gothic tower canted at
an impossible angle, it’s grandeur long since faded and weather-beaten. After seven decades the famously faulty underpinning
had finally given way and now it tottered, ready to collapse. The tower, incorrectly
named by most, was in reality The Elizabeth Tower. Big Ben the enormous bell within
would soon ring one last time as it plummeted to the ground.
This would cause no undue concern. In fact it would provoke
no reaction of any kind. All life in London had ceased a generation before. Now all
that lived beneath the tower were the lowest form of insects, feverishly hiding
from the dominant form of life on the planet; the enormous winged beasts prowling
the sky with ceaseless energy and unquenchable hunger.
If you have a good idea I always think its worth writing it down no matter where it comes in the process of things. Otherwise I often find I have lost the spark of 'brilliance' when I reach the 'correct moment'.
ReplyDeleteThe preface is great - but do you really have a world with no people?
That's exactly why I wrote it down. I knew if I didn't do it immediately, I would forget it.
DeleteRoger, it sounds amazing. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteJust keep running – you’re doing great!
It may change but that's the one I'm working with at the moment.
DeleteIt is great. I think the Kongomato series will be one of your greatest achievements.
