#8 OUT OF MY DEPTH
“I’ve heard that drowning is a peaceful way to go, but I’d like to dispute that assumption. In my experience, it’s a desperate scramble for the surface, followed by a crushing blow of anger when you realise this is how you’ll go. It’s not peaceful at all.” A daytrip up the coast doesn’t go as planned for this nearly twelve-year-old. Lost in her book, she almost misses the chance for a swim in the frigid surf, and, when she gets out of her depth, it really does all go wrong. |

#7 THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
Throwing caution to the wind, we headed off for a swim in the unusual, otherworldly conditions on that muggy afternoon; a low-hung, dark sky the only clue to the events that would unfold. Far out in the bay, and waist-deep in the silver water, strange light threw the landscape into relief, and the unexpected phenomenon put us all on edge before the fat drops of rain began to fall. This became a swim like no other, and one we vowed never to repeat again, even if we'd had a thrilling adventure during the calm before the storm. |

The boy staggered into town just on dark, filthy, half-starved, and delirious. We took him to the infirmary, fed him, cleaned him up, and let him sleep.
