The carriage swayed gracefully, the rhythm of the wheels gently hypnotic.
The line nestled into a bluff. Beneath it, rainforest protected brilliant white sand and the Pacific Ocean.

Around her, people cried out in terror.
Emma sat up, pulled a battered notebook from her bag.
‘Don’t panic!’ she called out with authority.
‘I can write us out of this!’
