The fizzing and crackling continued as the door creaked open revealing the ringing handset.

Jon picked up the receiver. A voice said “Mr Smith, there is a get out of goal free card under this ‘phone. Present it to the guards and they will let you out.” There was a high-pitched squeal, and everything went dark……

Stunned, Jon replaces the receiver as he crouches to collect the card which feels like icy static electricity between his fingers.

He stands and leaves the blue box and goes to the nearest steel door. He knocks and yells “K22 has an exit pass”. A small hole appears at chest level in the door and an electronic voice demands to be shown the get out of gaol free card.

As if by magic, as Jon looked at the card, the letters rearranged into gaol.
“How odd” he said. |

"Well that was unexpected" Jon said as he marvelled at the gaping intestine lined hole in the wall made by the exploding guard.

Jon disappears in a puff of logic as "The Author" puts their pen down on the desk, balls up Jon's papery universe and lobs it effortlessly in the waste paper basket.

The author suddenly notices that the walls and most of their floor has disappeared and their desk is starting to get misty and flowing into the waste paper basket while a loud voice says "That's all, folks!".
