The Baby And the Brandy (Ben Bracken 1)
“It reminds me of camping. I am snapped back into the present with the horrible assumption that I’m still floating along with the burning pirate ship, just another piece of wreckage left behind.
I see flames, but they are small, and very close. Did I never make it out of the restaurant? Surely I did, I remember the tumble, then the cold...
My eyes adjust, and I see that the fire is encased in a white ceramic oval, a funnel over it sucking the smoke up and away. I follow the tube above the funnel..., as it reaches twelve or so feet to a glass ceiling. Confused, I turn, and see that the glass ceiling continues along and down, in a huge 3 sided glass box - encasing the most ornate pool complex I have ever seen. A kidney-shaped pool, with a bar at one end, with little paths routing from one end to the other, lined with ornamental foliage of all description. A little glass-house of paradise - a conservatory of some kind.
Somebody saved my life.
I stand weakly, and notice that despite still being dressed as before, my clothes are damp and I am draped in a towel.MoreLess
