Rex pressed back against the clammy tiles. Rambo cocked the trigger. Rex screwed up his eyes. ‘Hosepipe,’ came a voice at his right ear.

‘What?’

‘Hosepipe.’

He knew that voice, the voice of the Goddess, the voice of Christeen. And he knew the time too. That brief five minutes of the day when the heating went on at Odeon Towers. So timed that most of its residents would be out working. Bath time. ‘And it’s goodbye from him,’ chuckled Rambo. Rex reached up for the rusted turncock. Wrenched it around. Miraculously it spun, as if newly greased. Rex clutched the perished hosepipe. The jet of superheated water was fast and furious. It struck Rambo full face, blasting him from his feet into the arms of his dithering henchman. Acting Fireman Mundi trained the jet upon them both, laughing like a lunatic. The jet faltered, trickled and died. Rex’s water ration for the day was all used up. ‘Ooooooooooooh!’ Rex leapt to his feet. Rambo was staggering about groaning terribly and feeling for his gun. Rex kicked him viciously between the legs. As he doubled up, the steely toecap of Rex’s workaday boot caught him squarely in the sinking chin. Rex snatched up the fallen weapon and leap-frogged over the toppled Devianti. Eric made a half-hearted swing in his direction, but Rex bludgeoned him down with the pistol butt.

Really it was all a most excruciating display of gratuitous violence. But once cut together from the various viewpoints afforded from the televisual moss and lichen in Rex’s apartment and beamed out across Phnaargos, it went down very big with the growing audience of some fourteen billion.
