Teaser Number Three – RoboCop

9 May 2020 / admin

Here’s a short snippet from a chapter I’ve called RoboCop.

Bollocks. I was going to have to go and confront him and attempt to get him to go back to the back of the queue. I knew I was going to be in for a battle. He was with his ‘gang’. He’s not going to back down in front of them. I was on my own, and he knew it, so I was fucked if he wanted to kick off.

I walked towards him. He saw me coming. “What’s up Robocop?” he said, looking me up and down. I used this to my advantage, I was going to have to get into a conversation to buy me some time and hope that a colleague would come and give me a hand. I wasn’t holding out for much hope.

Dinner queue supervision was one of the jobs you did your best to avoid. The rule was that there should always be two officers supervising, but that would rarely happen. “Why do you all call me RoboCop?”, I asked, but I knew why. Marvin sucked his teeth, “Look at tyou, man, walking around wid your ear piece and da radio”.

“Really? Is that why you call me Robocop? Because I wear and ear piece?”

Teaser Number Two – The Gunman

9 May 2020 / admin

Here’s teaser number two taken from a chapter called The Gunman.

I let Mr Pilbeam know that I was ready and he opened the door and I walked in. “GET ON THE FUCKING FLOOR, NOW”. Fucking hell, I thought…it was the gun man!! I was face to face with Mr Guthrie with a hand gun in his hand. I didn’t react immediately to his command. “GET ON THE FUCKING FLOOR.”, he bellowed again and this time took a step towards me and put the gun into my face.

This time I did as I was told. “DON’T FUCKING MOVE OR I’LL SHOOT YOUR HEAD OFF”. OK I thought. So if I move, I fail…this was the advice I was given. I laid there motionless. I’ve nailed this test. Piece of piss…just lay here and do as I’m told.

Book Teaser One – The Hospital Bollocking

9 May 2020 / admin

From time to time I am going to release extracts from the book I am currently writing. I’ll announce the extract on Facebook with a direct link to the newly released extract.

Here we go with extract number one – The Hospital Bollocking.

Clive was just about to put pen to paper when a nurse came running into the room. “Do you have any idea where your prisoner is?”, she exclaimed. Clive and I looked at each other…the worst case scenario…had he escaped?

“He’s still in the toilet, he can’t go very far”, replied Clive, who had managed to keep a calm tone to his voice, but I knew he was just as worried as I was right now.

“Yes, I know he’s in the toilet, but he’s lucky he hasn’t BLOWN US ALL UP. **** *** ***** ****** * ***** ********”. She was giving us a right telling off. I felt like a schoolboy being told off by the headmaster for the very first time.

I was hoping that Clive would take control and deal with it. But my mouth opened and out came the words… “He’s only having a fag”. The nurse looked at me square in the face, but then looked at my epaulette’s on my shoulder, no doubt making a mental note of my officer number so she could report me.
