    Alf and his partner, Bert, are infamous thugs. Redeemed by the young Cloud brothers, they have now devoted their lives to protect the Cloud's ancient mansion and its mystical secrets.

    Author

    James Field

    I was born in Essex, England, in 1951.My early days of work as an engineer led me to Norway where I met my future wife Kari. She moved to England where we married and raised our two daughters. We moved back to Norway in 1985.My wife and I now live far in the north, well within the Arctic Circle, in the land of the midnight sun. Life here is slow and comfortable, blessed by unspoilt nature and its magnificent moods.Being creative in the written form gives me vast pleasure. I hope, dear reader, you will take a break from your world and lose yourself in one of mine.

      Outgrowth of the Brain

      "W hat is it Chums?" asked Bert, switching on his bedside lamp.

      His two massive Alsatians stood rigid with their eyes fixed on his.

      Have we got prowlers?

      The Alsatians smacked their gums and twitched with excitement, a motion as clear as a nod to Bert.

      We'll soon sort them out good and proper, won't we Chums.

      The black Alsatians snarled; they were ready.

      Bert climbed out of bed, stepped into his dungarees, pulled them over his boxer shorts and T-shirt, and buttoned the straps to the bib. The stairs groaned under his weight as he made his way down to the kitchen, Alsatians close on his heels. His pal and fellow security guard, Alf, still sat at the kitchen table with his head buried under folded arms, right where he'd been when Bert had gone to bed last night.
