Bird Box
“There is no use asking herself how much farther they have to go. She doesn’t know when she will hear the recorded voice that tells her she’s arrived. She doesn’t know if it still exists. Now, she only paddles, she only perseveres.
An hour ago, they passed what sounded like lions engaged in battle. There were roars. Birds of prey screech threats from the sky. Things growl and snort from the woods. The river’s current is moving faster. She remembers the tent Tom and Jules found in the street outs...ide their house. Could there be something like that, so astonishingly out of place, here, on the river? Could they crash into it . . . now?
Out here, she knows, anything imagined is possible.
But right now, it is something much more concrete that worries her.
Someone is following them. Yes, the Boy heard it, too.
A phantom echo. A second rowing, in step with her own.
Who would do it? And if they meant to harm her and the children, why didn’t they do it when she was passed out?
Is it someone escaping their home as well?MoreLess
