Broken (2014)
“Wind blows around me from their two sets of wings beating hard while expertly keeping apart. I don’t dare move in case they drop me.
Eventually they bring me down in a thick part of the forest, but nowhere near the portal like I was expecting. They lower my feet to the ground first. I glimpse a dry creek bed, dense shrubs and a rocky hill before they shove a hessian bag over my head and push me into a cave.
We walk at a steep downwards angle for a kilometre or more. It’s so dark the only light ...comes from the Prodigies’ own glow.
A second tunnel with a left turn keeps us descending. By the time they stop and make me sit, we’re deep underground. It’s cold, moist and smells like wet dog fur. I hug my knees to my chest and wonder what happened to the girls.
Pulling the bag off my head, the angels leave me here while they walk into a tunnel opposite where I’m sitting. When their light fades from view, it becomes so dark I can’t see the tunnel entrance or even my fingers held in front of my eyes.MoreLess
