The Dead
“A can of beans had hit her in the back of the head and for a moment she wasn’t sure where she was. Then Courtney pulled her out and she quickly caught up with what was going on. Greg was advancing down the aisle, forcing the panicked kids ahead of him. Brooke swore and looked round for some way to escape the chaos.
Fixed above the window was a sort of little metal hammer thing in a glass case.
‘Look,’ she said, twisting Courtney round. ‘Let’s smash the glass and get out of here.’ ‘Do it!’ said ...Courtney.
Brooke jumped on the seat and used her elbow to break the thin glass covering the hammer and then fumbled to remove it from the clips that held it in place.
‘Let go, you stupid thing.’ At last she got her fingers round it and tore it free.
‘Hurry up!’ Aleisha was watching Greg slowly make his way up the bus. Kids spilling from their seats and falling over each other to keep ahead of him.
Brooke swung the hammer.
Too weedy. It just bounced off.
Useless.
‘Harder!’ yelled Courtney.MoreLess
