Bossman appears; “Leave it. Got another job for you today. Big one.”Prisoner 804 has visitors with an invitation, but there’s no way he’s leaving this place; not until he’s really ready.
“The best science fiction I’ve read for years.”
“These superb stories set a new standard in Sci-Fi.”

“All so different – there’s no groove with this writer.”
“Some darker moments and characters, but definitely from the Lighter Side.”

About the author
Trevor Watts
33 books5 followersTrevor is a Nottinghamshire, UK writer. Educated at Old Basford Primary School, Nottingham; High Pavement Grammar School, Nottingham; Hull University, and Nottingham University.
His short stories and poems have frequently won prizes, and he has appeared on television discussing local matters.
As well as the Realms of Kyre medieval fantasy saga, the New-Classic Sci-Fi books, and the OsssOss Series of short stories, he has published many reader-friendly non-fiction books and articles. These are mostly about exploring active volcanoes around the world, and searching for fossilised dinosaur footprints on Yorkshire’s Jurassic coast.
In the 1980s, his Ph.D. research pioneered the use of computers in the education of children with profound learning difficulties. Much of this research was published in educational, medical and computing magazines and journals.
He spent fourteen years at the classroom chalkface; sixteen as headteacher of a special school; and sixteen as an Ofsted school inspector to round it off. At the time, his teacher wife, Chris, joked that it was “Sleeping with the Enemy”.
Now retired, Trevor writes, walks the local footpaths; curses his computers; and loves his wife, the cat and his kids.
