Chapter 58

I SLID ON the earth and grabbed out. My hands gathered dirt until they locked onto a wooden plank marking the very edge of the hole. My eyes were clouded by purple explosions of light, the torch burning through my night vision like wildfire. I held on tight. My legs kicked at nothing.

‘Coward!’ I snarled. ‘Cowardly piece of shit!’

My arms were shaking. I knew he was still there in the dark. If he kicked my hands I was gone. I’d fall down there into the abyss.

There are also black holes. Amy’s voice was in my head. Some of those holes are kilometres deep.

I could hear my own cries echoing down through the depths. I hung on and waited for him to finish me.

But the sound of him walking away cut through my own panicked breathing. His footsteps gave me the strength to find a foothold, to claw my way up onto my belly. I lay on the ground and breathed, still clenching handfuls of dirt as though I’d fall if I let go. I knew if I screamed, the tunnel would carry my voice to him.

‘I’ll find you!’ I howled, my voice trembling. ‘I’m coming for you, arsehole!’
