‘We have to get
to him,’ Upson barges through the crowd. He sends people flying and he’s
halfway across the square before anyone can stop him. Finally Tarquin’s caught
on too. He can feel it in the air. His world has been unsettled.
I follow Upson but I’m soon lost.
People are in front of me and behind me and everyone is singing.
The edges of my vision blur. They
sing so loud I feel the ground rumble beneath my feet. Suddenly everything is
changing. The colours wash into one another. Lines of black claw at the edges
of my periphery. The sky is sand, the earth is clear and I’m falling, we’re all
falling away.
In an instant, the town is gone.
