![]() I can hear the pained braying of the survivors, moaning in hollow resignation as they struggle to stand on broken legs. I can make out the bodies of the deer who made this hazardous journey before me. The valley’s base comes into view, hurtling towards me as I plummet through the rushing undergrowth. A split second before I would have collided with the thick, knotted trunk, I throw myself to the side, my wrist ricocheting against the bark and sending a shooting pain down my arm. I’ve regained control just in time, looking ahead to see a large tree, bursting out of the hill a few metres below me. Rocks and dirt cascade around me as I pull myself onto my back, finally managing to descend with my feet pointed downhill. I battle to bring order to my descent, my hands grasping at the undergrowth, clawing through loose soil in a frenzied search for stability.

My entire body is thrown into chaos, tossed into a frenetic, uncontrollable dance, swept along by the rushing earth towards the impatient valley floor.

The rich and endless firmament shines down through the canopy, with no earthly light to dull its glow. In the brief interlude before I hit the ground, I find myself alone with the stars.Īs I fall backward towards the slope, my gaze rising to meet the night sky, I feel a sudden weightlessness take hold, as if I’m being granted an audience with the heavens. In the meantime, please keep any and all insights coming, however small. Hopefully once I’m there I might be able to make some real headway. I’ve been thinking about it for a while and I’ve decided that, after Christmas, I’m going to be flying out stateside to follow up on the leads you guys have provided. Sadly, I need to work as many Christmas shifts as I can get my hands on, especially now I’ve decided that I can’t continue the investigation effectively from my flat in North London.
