burma track camp memoir

It was  a dark walk down the stairs …

As we walked down the concrete slide stairs, Amelia was grabbing my
arm and shrieking in fear. As we got to the start, Mrs Pavitt said “Who
is going first ?” I put my hand up and Mrs Pavitt picked my group.

As I grabbed onto the rope I started walking. Amelia yelled out “Where
are you Becky?” I kept walking, then it happened. Someone or
something grabbed my foot.  I shrieked! Then someone threw dirt at
my feet.

Everyone was screaming, I was nearly deaf, Then Ray yelled out
“Get your butts down here!” There was a foot hanging on a tree,
Brooke screamed.

As I came out of the bush, everyone was crying.  I could see the fear
in their eyes, as I saw tears in everyone's eyes. I could see them in
the trees, shaking with fear.
