Extract
The sound of footsteps came for the third time. Once again the
light flashed on. Once again I screwed up my eyes and shuddered at the
suddenness of it. Once again I was examined through the hole by someone's
attentive, colourless eye.
'What?' I shouted rudely in my exasperation.
The eye disappeared. The bolts clattered. The door opened.
'Name?'
'Rubanov!'
'Out you come!'
