These electrical currents control who we are, what we do and what we feel. They learn, they remember and they help store things away. They have the ability to link two completely separate senses together so that a smell can remind you of a place or an event. In times past, men could control these electrical currents and manipulate the wires of the mind so that memories could be wiped away, new ones made, even changed. Jonah had those gifts. In the past, men had used this marvel for good, but Jonah did not. Whilst Stephen slept, a good sleep – a deep sleep – Jonah had set about his task and rewired parts of Stephens mind. Like an errant child throwing toy blocks from his cot, Jonah showed little care for what he was doing and what he was making. As the sun breached the horizon and bathed Rockfall in its mighty glory, Jonah stepped back from his creation his mouth agape. Wake up, Stephen. Wake up. Stephens’s eyes opened abruptly. 2 He couldn’t remember what he had dreamt about, why he had awoken with a jolt, but it mattered not now that he was awake.
