The prisoner known as Number 6 has been held
captive in The Village for 15 months. But having vindicated the right of the
individual to be individual, he is offered a very generous compensation
package. His house is being made ready for him. Above and beyond this, the
Prisoner is told he can desert them and go anywhere. The key to his house, travellers
cheques one million, and a passport valid for anywhere, and a leather
drawstring purse of petty cash. He is then free to go. But is this enough
compensation for a man who has been incarcerated in The Village against his
will? To have both his liberty and identity taken away from him, to have been
reduced to nothing more than a mere number? Questioned, interviewed, his mind
conditioned, his body treated with numerous drugs, and worse. No it isn’t! Only
to be brought face to face with Number 1, the man, person, or thing to be responsible
for his having been brought to The Village, and treatment thereafter! That
being himself, Number 1, his own worst enemy, whom he vanquishes, then takes
the compensation package and runs like blazes!
Be seeing you
