Ha. Found a story i have been in love all those years ago, when i discovered the riches of the internet.
Trapdoor is now, apparently, a book. And it will be in my mailbox in about three weeks (Australia is bloody far away).
The exerpts are here, in case anybody would be interested, since it is a piece of quite powerful writing, if i may say so myself.
