“You try to hang on but, with a sense of despair, you realise it’s impossible. You’re about fifty metres above a cold stone floor and you’re going to drop all the way down to it. Your whole life starts flashing in front of your eyes. Those early kindergarten days, playing doctors and nurses in the sand-pit and getting sand in your . . . And that’s all you have time to remember. The next moment you’ve lost your grip. You’re plummeting through the air like a Superman who’s swallowed Superglue. The... only good news is that, as you fall, you knock Stacey and her father off the rope, too. There’s now three plummeting bodies heading for that hard stone floor. You’re about ten metres away from it now. You’re about nine metres away. Eight . . . seven . . . six . . . five . . . Then you hit. To be exact, you hit the arms of a nice big friendly policeman. He catches you very neatly. You lie in his arms like a baby, looking up at his face. Right now he’s about the best-looking human being you’ve ever seen.MoreLessRead More Read Less
