The Second Forever (2012)
“Even though the two were only a few feet apart, they couldn’t see each other, nor how wide the river was. They both scrambled up onto the bundle of planks and held on to each other as they were thrown first against one side of the tunnel and then the other.
The tunnel grew narrower, making the water even more frantic. Luckily the endless river had worn the rocks so that they were as smooth as glass and, although the children were constantly battered and bruised by them, there were no sharp ...edges to cut them.
Eventually a dot of light appeared ahead, dancing about in the wild water. The dot grew bigger until it was a window of light and the tunnel opened out into a cavern where the water, with room to spread out, slowed down. As it did so it lost its grip on the broken glass and sand, which sank into the darkness.
The light seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere. It filled the cave with a soft blue glow, like moonlight, which reflected on the black lifeless water that seemed to go down forever.MoreLess
