God it was boring! He was a cream man, in a cream and grey office, if he stood against the wall he was invisible. ‘I’m the invisible man, incredible how you can, see right through me!’ But there were no Freddie Mercury frantic drums for Reg Moorcroft. Coffee four times a day, that was it. A piece of cake if it was someone’s birthday!

God it was exciting, dark hard blue metal, beautiful old chequered wood, powerful, life changing! But changes meant risk, excitement meant danger, the power of life and death came in a package labelled ‘fear.’ Still it was better than washing the car and cutting the lawn.
It wasn’t supposed to be like that. He had to make amends, he couldn’t continue his life in front of a computer even if he did some good, he just felt like an on/off switch that could read. Get out now Reg, change your life, ‘Got to leave you all behind and face the truth!’

Why didn’t he just say no to him? Ludo Connod lived in Paris with his family and old dog, happily approaching forty. He’d done enough, had enough. Why on earth was he flying to America?

It was the money, that was it, secure his pension forever, that was it. Sense of patriotic duty. That was really it. He wasn’t even American, he was French, only his fathers genes were American.

“The Blight came from the Almighty, the famine from The English. Eddy Murtagh was a Ribbonman, all his folks wanted was a fair deal and enough land to grow food, but no, he took it all away, sent his bully boys and henchmen to get them out, burn them out, kill them if necessary. Eddy was a Navvie, building railways on the mainland, tough, strong and fearless, except for Lillian. He’d fix it. He did fix it. Then he had to leave.

She was a waitress in Libya, a refugee from Somalia sending money back home to keep her loved ones alive. She loved being with him. He bought her flowers.

Edward Charles McClone the 5th, knew the answer.
