Green, I think, is the colour of life. In this place all things are green – the grass, the trees, even the sky. As I stare at the verdant rock hurtling towards me, I am struck by an imminent thought:
I didn’t think green would be the colour of my death.

Parched Nomads
They walked for days in the blistering heat; their feet rubbed raw from the ragged stones. Following ancient roads they wound onwards, searching desperately. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and years turned to generations. Parched nomads they became, hunting for a miracle.

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.

A nice twist and usage of metaphor and symbolism. Amazing how you can shift expectations in so few words. Brilliant.
