NOT a film novelisation…The original story. In the future Era of Youth, there will be too many people and not enough food. So in an orderly and systematic fashion the old ones – those over the age of twenty one – must be got rid of. It was easily done – in the palm of everyone’s right hand was embedded a crystal flower. In adults – those over the age of fourteen – the crystal shone crimson. And when the crystal turned black it was time to report to a Sleepshop. Those who didn’t report for annihilation – those who tried to escape – were hunted down by the Deep Sleep men – and exterminated. Logan was a DS man – efficient, fast and cruel. But one day the crystal in his hand began to flicker – black, red, black…and Logan discovered he did not want to die!
