For any newcomers to Skreeworld here is a brief update.In the search for a higher plain and inspired by the Kingsnorth sixwe scaled Moortown Water Tower in Leeds to relive the sensation of being on a higher plain felt when I was a child. In an attempt to communicate this natural high the Church of Skreeworld was formed, a small elite team of adventurers. There were three gas silos being demolished in Bath so the church went on a night time expedition to walk around the top ring of the largest silo. Whilst up there we were terrified yet underwent a religious experience. We climbed a few other pieces of industrial architecture before we were informed of a vast labyrinth of tunnels stretching for miles underground in our area, beneath our very feet. Some date back to Reformation times, some medievel though most are ex quarry and 2nd world war left overs. We were told of an entrance near Monkton Farleigh and whilst down here we heard what sounded like a deep echo of the voice of Elvis. After carrying ou research we found hat Elvis was born a twin. The sexual powers of elvis girations saw him banned from the waste down on TV. he Presley famil claimed his twin Jesse was stillborn and couldnt afford a proper burial hence he was buried in a shoebox in Tupelo cemetery. Later, even with Elvis vast financial resources, no remains could be found to be reburied at Graceland. Clearly either Jesse had burrowed away or had never died. The power of Elvis sexual girations were but a fraction ofJesses' hence he was banished to the underworld, banned from the head down. As Elvis became king of rock and roll, Jesse became king of the Underworld. To this day he operates in a huge labyrinth of tunnels the world over. We were fortunate to be there when he passed. The Church of Skreeworld embarked on a project to map all the tunnels in our area in the hope of finding Jesse. B this time he had made his way to Iceland and his girations caused a massive volcanoe that cast a dust cloud that grounde all air trafic. His anger at hi banishment has led to further earthquake. Whilst on our exploration of the underworld we found that the tunnel network we had met Jesse in connected to Isinbard Kingdom Brunels Box tunnel. A tunnel they said could never be built. I's construction claimed 1 life a yard and stretches nearly 2 miles underground. Workers on the tunnel saw the seam of bath stone and went on to great riches quarrying this, the tnnel network was largely built for their quarry rails. Also, about halfway through Box tunnel we found an unused train station. Further research revealed that the stone quarry tunnels were used to bring munitions in secret to this forgotten underground station during world war 2.
Not long after this, it came to our attention that Peter Gabrielle, who lives but a stones throw from the entrance to Box tunnel, had made fortunes with a group called Genesis through thier song 'Riding the Scree'. We arranged t meet Gabrielle to claim our unpaid royalties. After waiting for an hour a mile undergrund it was clear he had bottled it. We realised that he knew we had the King of the Underworld on our side and even an angel, even an archangel didn't stand a chance against the Church of Skreeworld and Jesse.
As we left the tunnel we saw a tower on the horizon. At the time we had little idea of it's significance.
