Lily stopped for a moment as a wave relief washed her. She felt the adrenaline in her veins quieten and was struck with a sudden realisation. Was it a figment in her desperate mind, or had she actually found a way out?

She was unsure if she had been playing hide-and-seek or if the situation was surreal.
