TEN

Shelley's mind was in a turmoil of despair. Everything was going wrong. They were losing control and it was getting stronger…

They? He gave a bitter laugh. He was practically on his own now. Oh, there was still Durkins and a couple of others but he doubted if they would last for much longer. Carol Soames had been his last strong ally but she too had given way under the strain. What on earth had she thought she was up to trying to get off the rig? Poor girl. She couldn't accept the fact that she was… finished. And then when that stupid young thug had stabbed her it was the final straw. To die twice was too much for any mind. Her last layer of sanity had been stripped away. Now she was like all the others.

He could still sense their presence, the mad ones. The ones whose minds had collapsed almost as soon as they realised what had happened to them. The reality of their situation had been too awful for them to accept. Now they wandered around like feeble, hysterical ghosts.

Would he go that route too? It was possible. When the last thread of control had slipped from his grasp he would be at the mercy of it and then insanity would be the only refuge. If only they could have kept it on its leash long enough for the young intruders to get away. But Carol's violent death had ruptured something. It had come to the surface much more quickly and Shelley had known right away it was stronger. Much stronger.

And worse still, it was getting more intelligent. Was there a spill-over from all the trapped human minds? Were the insane ones actually fragmenting as individual personalities and becoming part of it? Whatever the answer it boded ill for all of them.

Especially the six young intruders. He doubted if he could keep it from them for very much longer.
