The Tide Knot
“ Did my alarm clock go off? No, everything’s silent. Where am I? I stare around, struggling to remember. There’s a light.
A candle burning. A jumble of shapes in its flickering light.
Boxes, bags, old furniture. And three other shapes, curled up on the floor.
Mum, Sadie, and Rainbow on the other side of Sadie. I don’t even remember falling asleep. We were so exhausted.
Rainbow and I got Sadie up the ladder into the loft first; that was quite hard because Sadie kept tryi...ng to help us by scrabbling her paws on the ladder’s rungs and licking our faces to encourage us. She knew we were trying to rescue her, and she wanted to do her bit. I was wrong to think she would panic. Sadie was like a lion for courage.
Helping Mum up the ladder was a nightmare, even though she was so brave and kept saying she could manage. But she couldn’t.MoreLess
