Under Siege

by Elisabeth Mace

'On the monitor the scene switched and zoomed at breathless speed. The attackers reached the doors, shouting, heaving and thudding again and again. From the battlements above the archers aimed and loosed at the orders of a fully armoured knight...'Morris is totally enthralled by his Uncle patrick's computer-controlled fantasy game setup. For a whole room has been turned into another world - a feudal country landscape, dominated by a great castle.As Morris watches his uncle program various scenarios into the model, he becomes drawn into the terrible struggle between the keepers of the castle and the peasant army fighting to gain entry. But time is running out for the brave little band and, when one of the characters speaks directly to Morris, asking for his help, he knows he can no longer just stand by and watch - he must enter the Game himself...
