Top of Page2095: A Mind Odyssey
Synopsis:
Welcome to a future world where the internet is now 'within you' and you're forced to be continually online. A comedic yet disturbing satire where Nanocomputers dominate the world! Here is a humorous, yet chilling, satire providing a glimpse into the 'end of the century' future where Bio-NanoTechnology has become so small it is inserted at birth within your DNA and the need for crude hand-held devices is at an end. No longer is there a need for 'voting in' a government as the world is now controlled by a 'Nano-Computer Mainframe' known as 'the Ruling Authority.' Is it the case that 'IBNAT' can be deposed as it seeks complete mind control, or is resistance merely pointless?

Top of PageAbout A Heist
Synopsis:
When two girls advertise to rent a room in their London flat, neither of them can expect to be involved and implicated in a gem heist. When one Australian girl knocks on their door, the two girls immediately mistake her as a prospective flat-mate, not realising that they are allowing into their midst someone with entirely other intentions. In fact, it transpires she is an employee at a gem warehouse in Hatton Garden and is being followed by two Irish gem thieves who enter the flat and overpower the girls. Yet, the Australian girl steals their gun and all three girls lock the men in the cellar and the two girls are then persuaded into implementing the same heist being planned by the men. The heist takes place but at the last moment their Australian 'friend' disappears along with the loot and the two escaped Irish thieves, leaving the two girls to face the police and persuade them of their innocence. A fast paced story with many a twist!
