Surviving the Evacuation (Book 4): Unsafe Haven
“Nilda scraped out one last shovel-full of dirt, then stood up and stretched. The hole was only four-feet deep, but that would have to do. Wearily, she climbed out. The cuts on her hands, which had been blisters the day before, were bleeding again. She walked down to the shore to rinse them in salt water, letting the sharp stinging pain do the job of coffee. There was none of that on the island.
There was no proper shovel, either. She had to make do with a folding spade from the lifeboat’s e...mergency kit.

Her soul wailed softly at the memory, but she was too weary to feel the full weight of grief.
She trudged back up the beach and grabbed the bottle she’d filled from the brook that morning. She was about to take a drink, but stopped. It seemed disrespectful to do it there by the open grave. She walked up towards the scrubby row of trees that separated the woodland from the stone and sand beach.MoreLess
