His head was still groggy, so he<br \/>\nremained still and blinked his eyes a few times, happy to let the<br \/>\nsunlight slowly bring him back into the real world. Over on the<br \/>\nwindowsill lay a pair of pliers that looked so old and rusted, that<br \/>\nhe wouldn\u2019t be surprised if his granddad had used them during the<br \/>\nwar. World War II? World War I? Maybe even the Boer War for all<br \/>\nJohn knew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western4\" xml:lang=\"en-GB\">Through the<br \/>\nwindow he could see the top of a building. Behind it there was<br \/>\nanother building, and a bit further out into the distance there was<br \/>\na grassy hill with a statue of some kind at its peak. People milled<br \/>\naround the statue: couples holding hands, kids rolling down the<br \/>\nslope, dog owners just out for a walk. A man playing the trombone<br \/>\nhad a small audience standing around him, all of them clapping.<br \/>\nThey were all too far away for John to be able see their faces in<br \/>\nany detail, but he could see that every soul up on that hill was<br \/>\nsmiling, happy, and joyous. And why shouldn\u2019t they be? It was a<br \/>\nlovely sunny Saturday, a perfect time to pop out to the local park<br \/>\nwith your loved ones, and enjoy an iced tea on the hill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr style='margin: 30px 0; border-top: 1px solid #eee;'>\n<p style='text-align:center;'>Read the full book by downloading it below.<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/download-is-starting\/?url=https%3A\/\/mega.co.nz\/%23%21VsZiAaYC%21ynfkEV-LVlGfWJB0guLJXgKqsBg46j-W9MFmb_N0yLw' class='download-btn' target='_blank'>DOWNLOAD EPUB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book Preview Slaughter in Barnaby Close Feedback can be emailed to me at mcargill79@gmail.com Twitter &#8211; @MichaelCargill1 Website of satire &#8211; http:\/\/michaelcargill.wordpress.com\/ http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MichaelCargillAuthor Published by Michael Cargill at Smashwords Copyright 2012 Michael Cargill Stories in this compilation: &#8211; There and Back Again &#8211; Down the Rabbit Hole John opened his eyes and looked out of &#8230; <a title=\"Shades of Grey &#8211; Cargill, Michael\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/shades-of-grey-cargill-michael\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Shades of Grey &#8211; Cargill, Michael\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[126],"class_list":["post-2146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-michael-cargill"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epub-book.com\/download\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
