The Life and Loves of Gringo Greene
Page 48
But this shed is not like other sheds. It’s reinforced and well maintained and full of World War II artefacts.
Medals, TOP SECRET plans, ships’ models, old money, signalling equipment, photographs and a curious old travelling clock that does not work.
Johnny tosses it disdainfully to one side and continues rooting through his newly acquired treasures.
Clearly the main purpose of this shed is not for gardening, but what is it?
The alarm on the old clock goes off and it folds back in
on itself with a slick click. That was cute.
It begins to pulse, louder and louder Vum! Vum! Vum!
Seri begins to feel sick.
Johnny can’t figure it out.
Something very strange is happening.
The great adventure is about to begin.
