Uncle Bob
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
There was no warning, no sirens, no flashing lights, just what seemed to be the four walls caving in as the door was kicked from its hinges, then silence. The silence lasted about two seconds then chaos followed. Heavy feet landed and bodies bumped into the contents of the small caravan. Items broke as they fell to the floor and an irritated Welsh voice hissed “turn that fucking torch on”. My heart felt like it was trying to punch through my ribs, pounding like the bass box of a passing boy-racer’s customized car.
