smell of cigarette smoke. Fireflies dangled in the air like puppets, their colour almost drowned out
from the rain. Their amber hue seemed to be the only source of light.
Charlotte dragged her feet across the leaves on the ground while swallowing the dreary
landscape she had just walked a mile to. She inhaled. Heavy air filled her lungs and caused her to

ledge, threatening to engulf her in a sea of knifeedged rocks. In the dark she could’ve sworn it was
a giant claw. She turned around and planned an escape Q7______.
