"You want a story? I got a story to tell…" Telling stories was a nightly tradition at Camp Victory. Every evening they would huddle round the campfire, burn marshmallows and sausages, play guitar, sing songs and as the embers crackled lower the horror stories would come out.

"In all creatures great and small there exists the spirit of athletic competition…"

The idea was so simple, it was genius. Pure, elegant, cheap. Just what Brewster was looking for - he could feel the lightbulb above his head heat up.

Paris. June. The old man stood and waited and stared until he saw himself in the youth that passed him by. It was a warm morning, but the clammy stink of the city still felt fresh. He leant against the wall, studying the parade of young pilgrims file happily through the gates of Pere Lachaise cemetery.

“You tampered with the universe my friend, and when a man does that he has to pay the price.”

“You may think I’m beautiful Dr Roberts, but I’m not. I have lots of defects to fix.”
