Chapter 24

There’s Always Room for More

David lets go his hold on the wall of the church tower and floats free, a gust of wind buffeting him and making him drift to the south.

He swoops down over the graveyard, so low his body almost brushes the lichen-dappled headstones. The grass flattens at his passing. Dead flowers shake in their plastic vases.

Up now. Up and over the boundary hedge, blood-dropped by berries, bristling with thorns. Up and up and over the stand of ash and oak, rook infested, a cacophony of flapping black.

The river below, picking up light and sending it shimmering down its arcing length, and the road alongside dull and unconscious of the drama in which it now plays its part.

David peers into the wind. There. The car is only now climbing up the side of the embankment. It has not yet even entered the water. If he can only –

But Lightforce is on him before he even realises, blinding light made solid, smashing into him, knocking him off course and driving him down towards the ground, picking up speed all the time until they hit the road, tearing up the tarmac and sending fragments spraying into the air.
