  • “Maybe there is a beast… maybe it’s only us.”
  • “There was a slithering noise high above them, the sound of someone taking giant and dangerous strides on rock or ash. Then Jack found them, and was shivering and croaking in a voice they could just recognise as his.”
  • “Ralph grasped the idea and hit the shell with air from his diaphragm. Immediately the thing sounded. A deep, hard note boomed under the palms, spread through the intricacies of the forest and echoed back from the pink granite of the mountain.”
