The Vatican, the White Room, and Heaven Help Us...
Bryce Main
Multi-genre author, mostly Crime fiction. Scottish. Been writing longer than I’ve been wearing big boy’s trousers.
There was a room in the very deepest part of the Vatican the existence of which had been a closely guarded secret for more than a thousand years.
It was simply known as The White Room.
Although that was its name, it wasn’t exactly a room in the conventional sense.
Of course, it had walls and a ceiling and a floor. Somewhere.
And there was a vague rumour that there might even be a door, although whether it actually opened and closed was anybody’s guess.
Mostly, however, it had whiteness. Lots of it.
Of those who knew about the room, few had ever been in it.
Even fewer knew its true purpose – namely, to be the only common ground on Earth where representatives of the three realms of Heaven, Hell and Earth could meet, unseen and uninterrupted, at a moment’s notice.
With refreshments...

The above is an extract from my Sci-Fantasy book "Heaven Help Us."
It's a cautionary tale about what could happen if a large sentient asteroid decided to head for Earth. And about the strange team whose job it was to stop it.
Like my books of urban essays, and my book of urban romance, it's available from those nice people at amazon right here:

1 年For what ever it's worth. There's a White Room in St Augustine Fl. The difference there is that people go there to get hitched or tie the knot as they say. But you know what it's almost the weekend and a shot of White Label Scotch does has a nice ring to it. ??
