Sunset
When I pulled myself up to the top of the cliff, Amy and Dennis following, I was met with a most amusing sight. The teachers were scattered across the now dimly lit grass, some carrying torches, calling our names in frightened voices. I also noticed that they called for Amy and Dennis more often than for me. I held no illusions about their sympathies.
"Here," I called, putting the appropriate exhaustion into my voice.
They ran towards us like lemmings, and I considered how funny it might be if they kept running and missed the cliff's edge from the failing light.
