Jelly Cooper: Alien
“Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? There’s a catch, as always.
The path is only there for a couple of hours when the tide is at its lowest. Seabrook Bay has one of the highest tides in the world and when the tide turns, the sea comes rushing back at frightening speed to reclaim the land. Anyone careless enough to forget the time is in real trouble. The only thing on the island is sand, rocks, a scattering of trees and more sand. No phone boxes and no signal.
Anyone careless enough to for...get the time and try to swim back to the mainland is dead.
I don’t get wiggy about this like most people. I never have. Freak of nature that I am, I kind of like it. I find the solitude of the island soothing and I’m in dire need of some soothing. *** *** *** Something is off. I’m getting so used to having my world turned on its head that I don’t for one second question my gut feeling that something isn’t right. I slow down, feeling sick. My stomach clenches, then relaxes, then clenches again. Saliva squirts into the back of my mouth. “Um, guys,”MoreLess
