Lightning crashed in the air above us, and I turned to look back at my struggling companions. ‘We have to make it down the mountain!’ I yelled over the roaring wind, snow whipping against my patches of exposed skin. ‘It’s impossible!’ Ivan yelled back at me, propping up a half-fainted Yvonne. ‘We’ll never …
You know those days when the weather is so warm but cloudy, that the hot air almost feels like it’s pushing down on you? It simultaneously feels like a warm blanket making me want to sleep for the rest of my life and making me feel too hot to function. It’s a weird feeling and …
Within the walls of the maze, time seemed to move differently. Amira and Ro fell silent, as though they had been compelled by a force beyond their control. No wind ruffled the spindly green leaves that hung around them. No birds chirped out their lilting song. Even the air seemed to be holding its breath. …
