Jack Trinity woke in his new bed…. in his new apartment… and in a new city which he knew intimately…..Lightfield. That’s the way it worked. That’s what the court decide would be a fair and just punishment for his crimes… a list too long. He had been anaesthetized.

But Jack Trinity was Jack Trinity…born into the scourge of the world and schooled in the darkest aspects of inhumanity….Yes….he remembered who he had been….Crime Boss extra-ordinaire….some said Satan’s spawn…..It had been the only life he knew and was comfortable with it….good at it and understood it.

But this was Lightfield City….the tables were turned….the roles reversed and all the psycho-synaptics redirected. He remembered his past….as a cop….not a career criminal. The conflict in his mind was….he grimaced…."Torturous. Images of his victims…all who had died in agony flashed through his mind….they would flash through his mind every time he woke up….conflicting painfully with all the murderers he had arrested and sent to jail.

Jack Trinity climbed from his new bed and found a mirror.
