Empire of Ice Cream (13)

Danker was returned to his cell where he was made to strip his orange overalls.

He lay naked in the bright light.

Hours passed… or was it days?

Again he became conscious of a presence.

Someone had come to see him. – Although the face was obscured by the intensity of the light, he heard distinctly what was said:

If you co-operate, we will give you ice cream.

He remembered his colleague, Nylander in the bar in Stockholm.

Was he quoting or misquoting?

The only empire is the empire of ice cream.
