Agony. Terror.
These are not words which immediately spring to mind when exposed to such an idyllic scene. Endless, rolling hills, sky tinged red with the sunset, the gentle chirruping of insects…
Mind-chilling horror. Guts aflame, like a burning knife thrust deep in your innards. Brain melting as all you knew is ripped away…
These are not phrases one would associate with such a tranquil setting. Yet for one young man, not yet fourteen, it is something he must now face.
“Dad, something’s wrong! My Facebook’s not loading.”
“There’s no phone coverage out here, son.”
“BY ALL THAT’S HOLY, NOOOooooooo!”
