Today I am going to try and get you (the reader) interested in reading this book so in order to get you "hooked" I am going to supply a section of my book (maggot moon) without spoiling the end for you. In this section Standish has escaped his section but his life will not just miraculously turn into sunshine and rainbows! He still has some unfinished work to do and some new information. The information I am talking about is that maybe these people who suddenly "disappear" from the section, maybe, they don't just simply disappear, maybe, they are taken away to the motherland, to work and help make propaganda films! They don't have a fantastic life, they are all kept hostage and abused. Standish is hoping to go and free his best friend he had ever had Hector. Let's hope he hasn't been killed before he gets there.
So he has just got to the place where they are kept hostage!
"You're lucky" says the guard. "The last boy died". He walks me down a metal spiral staircase which seems to go round and round and on forever. At the bottom there is an endless white corridor, the lights running along the middle in small shades that throw triangles of blinding brightness. On each side are rows of metal doors with thick submarine glass at the top. Still we keep walking. Im not sure where the lucky comes into this. The guard's steel-capped boots echo the sound of a marching army. Apart from our footsteps there is an eerie silence down here it seems to be deserted. I feel as if I'm being buried alive. The place smells of metal and earth.
And still we keep walking."
