Narrative style practice article

Now watch out, you fall and you’ll be gone into unknown territory.



We were there in the pitch black, icy water surrounding every gap and crevice in the rock tunnels. Having crawled, squeezed, and fallen through the several angular routes, it wasn’t long before we had established the particular route in which we had embarked upon, was slightly more dangerous than one for your average beginner. Our instructor, a loud comical lady shuffled along the ledge in front of us. When we asked what would happen should we fall into the white water rapids below she cheerfully replied and without hesitation, “you’ll die”. Horrified and even more determined to keep our footing she continued on in front laughing away to herself.

It wasn’t easy navigating through the caverns, spacious, cramped and at that particular time of year, FLOODED! “just keep to the right guys then you can go stand under the waterfall up ahead”. Yeah of course … cos it’s not below freezing.
