One of the numerous, small derelict brick buildings scattered around Horsingdon, whose locked and bolted doors bear a sign warning: ‘Keep Out by order of The Ministry’.
Built during the early stages of the Cold War, a retired civil servant of my acquaintance - and who claims to have been in the employ of the mysterious Ministry - has alleged that these buildings came to represent a final, ideological failsafe to be activated in the event of the Cold War going hot, or in the case of Great Britain falling to communism: containing hideous occult technologies developed towards the end of World War 2, these buildings were positioned at key esoteric hotspots throught the region’s topography - ‘zones of inbetweeness’ delineating the hypergeometry of some kind of vast summoning grid, whose activation would call forth Those Who Wait from without the monstrous, sub-dimensional abysses which claw ceaselessly against the walls of our world.
Whilst one might wonder at the ideological absolutism underpinning the political will to enact such a thing, there are those amongst the Guardians of the Black Bowers who would see in such a desire for utter catastrophe what Mark Fisher describes as ‘the capacity for nihilation, for producing new potentials through the negation of what already exists’.
