This is the first chapter from section V I woke up on the beach. It was dark, like black. I rolled over and looked at my watch and it said, one o’clock. I could hear the sound of wind and of the sea. To my left four robots were standing there, like towering over me. In my memory I can still see them now if I close my eyes and remember. The same robots as the ones in the cartoon that the girl Jessica had been watching: Except that seeing them in real life, they were a lot more, authentic I guess. All really big, about eight or nine foot tall and all very much… built: Obviously really strong and that, with their big square robot muscles. As in the cartoon there was a red one, a blue one, a green one and a yellow one. But the colours… they weren’t totally covered in colour ‘cause there were silver parts too around their joints, and their eyes were all the same: black, big but slanted, kinda oval shaped, like stuck on their heads diagonally sort of thing. The red one said, in a booming robot voice, “We need your help,” and then, “You’re coming with us,” and I sort of said, “Okay,” and then got up. Although I said, “Okay,” the feeling of speaking was like, I could hear myself speaking but it didn’t feel as if I was making myself say it. It was just words coming out of my mouth. I got to my feet, not especially scared for some reason; actually quite calm. And they turned around in synchronisation and started walking into the blackness and I was trundling along behind them, not really feeling the need to argue: They weren’t using the path and I had no idea as to where they were taking me. As I think back now I can almost feel myself stumbling over the terrain of gravely, rocky ground, looking out for the odd gorse bush or rock to step over or around. And I can even feel the sweat running down my face as I struggle to keep up. Anyway, it wasn’t too long before I noticed that the girl from Price-Savers was walking along next to me, her red hair flowing behind her in the wind (yeah, it was almost like cartoon hair or something). I turned to look at her face and I remember that I wanted and tried to meet her eyes but she was just staring right ahead. So I started to think of something to say to her, maybe ask what the fuck was going on and how she’d got there and where we were being taken when I suddenly noticed that she was naked, like completely. Then I looked down at my own body and realised that I was naked too.
