Home is Goodbye
“Beneath her stretched the continent of Africa. If anything had been needed to convince Sara of the vastness of that great land mass it was this flight through the night. Occasionally she could see a fire lit by some travelling nomads, Masai perhaps, or the electric lights of some more civilized dwelling. But mostly there was just black nothingness.As her eyes became more accustomed to the darkness she could make out odd shapes beneath her — the occasional hillock, a small group of trees, and on...ce a number of animals grazing. Zebra, perhaps? Anything that her imagination cared to make them.Matt took the aeroplane down a little when they passed over a native village where they were celebrating something with a dance. She could see the long lines of twirling figures in the firelight and wondered at their stamina when Matt told her that it would go on for hour after hour. For a moment she thought she caught the sound of their drums, but then they had moved on and the dancers became nothing more than a blur behind them.For the most part Sara sat in silence, not liking to disturb the fierce concentration of the man beside her.MoreLess
