Chapter One
Saturday Night, Early December.
Rumour had it that the old man had woken up and become a modern day Prometheus, some would even have it that he got out of the bed and pushed his nurse to her death out of the 15th floor window before crashing back into the coma that he had been in since someone had tried to take his life. Other people would have you believe that the scream the nurse made as she plummeted to her death was so loud that it woke up evil spirits in the bad-lands and stirred forgotten parts of the Wirral, both of which are pure nonsense. Me? I believe he certainly stirred but as for waking up completely, the man was half dead and only the will of the Council was keeping the old man in this realm.
