There was only one possibility. Soon their hopes would fade just as the daylight dissolved into twilight and then into the darkness of the long night.


They heard no sounds, felt no touch and saw no fleeting movements in the shadows. That they were not alone, they had no room for doubt.


The pinpoint of light was as a beacon in the black nothingness that surrounded them. Did it mean the end of a tunnel and escape or was it, as a lighthouse, a grim warning.


Though why now, why here and why them.

There was only one possibility, before their hopes began to fade, as the day dissolved into the twilight.


They heard no sounds, felt no touch and saw no shadows and yet they knew that they were not alone in the dim evening light.


The pinpoint of light, bright in the black nothingness, was where their only chance of redemption lay.


Though why now, why here and why them.
