Chapter one... Hurricane Trump. Late one cold winter’s night at the Cryonics Institute in Croydon, two employees were watching their favourite movie on video, for the umpteen’th time, ‘Ice cold in Alex ‘ when a bolt of lightening struck, knocking out the main electricity supply. The men stayed put in their chairs hoping it would return in a few seconds, it didn’t The huge Cryo- Fridges were now disabled and made defunct. One of the men remembered where the torches were stored and made his way tentatively along the familiar corridors to the storage room, once procured he returned to his workmate. An emergency generator was down in the basement . And they both made their way down and started it up, Lighting was duly restored, but that’s all , as the large Cryo- Fridges were connected to the main supply. An outside generator must have been knocked out too , somehow, thought the men, as it would have kicked in by now. The emergency Gennie has been made redundant from whatever damn Blitzkrieg has hit us, said Jerry. Cryonic Patients known as CP’s were now in grave danger of losing their lives, again for the second time., a huge disaster loomed on high. The shit would hit the fan, if only it was switched on, that is . Famous and multi rich people had enrolled in the Institute’s reincarnation programme, in the hope of one day , a cure for their particular ailment, would be found, and then they could be restored to life once more, a long long shot Paddy Power the Bookies would be glad to take on. Walt Disney has been in a frozen state for over thirty years, so too many other very wealthy people from all walks of life. Victoria Beckham has been rumoured to be here also or in the American branch, Victoria was frozen for yonks ever before she died, (accidently) and it was her husband David who enrolled her, out of guilt, as it was his fault, by hitting her on the head with the Abacus Frame he was using, out of frustration for not quite picking it up, the intricate movement of ‘Beads’. The two employees had about two hours to get the power restored or look for another job. Hi-Tech, thermometers on the Geyser Cryo- Tanks alerted Jerry that C.P. No, 64, V.B. was thawing out faster than all the other CP’s, Victoria Beckham was No , 64, and a small amount of water was showing under her R,T. (Retaining Tank ). Jerry figured that because there was much less of her than all the other ‘fatties ‘ she obviously thaw out faster. The fact that she was frozen for most of her life, might help in the slowing process, but he had no idea how it works. Ben his work colleague was busy elsewhere with a mop and bucket , when they bumped into each other later on , Jerry remarked, “ That it was becoming more like the night of the Titanic, with floating dead bodies around and very few lifeboats “ They both laughed, albeit a nervous one at that,. Ben & Jerry knew there would be no ice cream tonight after their Tea break, in fact there may not even be a Tea break. Panic was now beginning to set in fast, who the hell should they call for help. What about Barnes, the day Supervisor, Ben inquired, “ Him, fuck it, he is a cranky old cunt at the best of times and would be sound asleep at this hour “, “ We’d never hear the end of it “.No, No, “It has to be the German, Manfred “ No other way around it, bite the bullet.
