Excerpt
from: Spider Quinn
She
left her in a clearing not far from the ravine before heading to the nearest
phone booth and calling 911.
Having
called the ambulance, she returned to the woman. “They’re on their way,” she
said.
“Thanks.
I don’t know what I was thinking, trying to climb down that ravine.”
“You’re
lucky I came along. I didn’t know I was coming out this way.”
“You’re
right, SpiderGirl. I can call you that right?”
“Of
course.”
“You
can call me Bella.”
“Bella.
That’s pretty.”
Bella
chuckled. “I was going to say that I could have been stuck down there for
days.”
“Probably
not that long. I would have joined in the search.”
“I
guess so.”
It
wasn’t long before the ambulance arrived. The paramedics thanked SpiderGirl for
what she did. “We would have needed to
call in a helicopter otherwise.”
“You’re
welcome,” SpiderGirl said, although she recognised that that particular
paramedic had been there when her father had passed. ‘Not his fault. He tried
his best,’ she thought, yet again.
As
the ambulance left she went back to the area she was looking at. ‘I know to
avoid that ravine now.’

SpiderGirl
put down the paper. She felt, uneasy for some reason. ‘All I know is that I
have some foreboding.’ She thought. She shook her head and swung away. She
still needed some sleep before school started.
It
was still early in the morning when the phone rang at the Coultard residence.
