People
either wake up in The Village having been abducted, the information inside
their heads of value to one side or another. Information which needs either
protecting or extracting. Whilst others are the original citizens, those
construction workers, carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers, glaziers, roofers,
painters and decorators, workmen and craftsmen who helped build The Village.
All recruited via Labour Exchanges or Employment Bureaux, and no doubt
Government contracts were issued to construction companies, and to factories
which provided tins of Village food, printers who printed the labels, and Maps
of The Village. Not to mention Austin Morris who provided the Mini-Mokes! The
prisoners, warders, guardians, nurses, doctors, maid, waiters, and waitresses
the list is as long as your arm. And then there are those who are sent to The
Village on a mission, those like Curtis, Fotheringay, and two Colonels. Not all
leave The Village, some become permanent residents to reside in the cemetery.
Some enjoy living in The Village, and wouldn’t leave for the world. Perhaps for
them living in The Village is far preferable to existing in the outside world.
To some The Village is a form of Shangri-la {especially when the extra hour of
recreation had been introduced – less work and more play} whilst to others its a
living nightmare from which there is no escape!
Be seeing you
