“Sorry I couldn’t be more use, dear, I never did understand computers, curious objects if you ask me. And I’m quite sure that this one must be an antique by now!”

“What?” Chase blinked, his head was fuzzy and discombobulated, it felt as though he was waking from a dream.

The room was different, too, the corridor with its creaky floor and tasselled wall lights had gone and there was no sign of the praxinoscope. He was standing in the middle of a large room filled with shelves of musty-smelling books, each wrapped in a wrinkled plastic dust cover and tagged with a number. An ancient computer sat on a beige steel trolley in one corner, a single red light blinking away on its equally beige casing. Next to it lay a pile of dusty old floppy discs and an antiquated printer.
