I gripped onto Helen tightly, having to trust she knew where she was going… and for all I distrusted her, I knew Helen always had a way out, an escape route planned.

As I felt my lungs burn with every breath and knew we were running out of time, I spotted something and paused. Digging my heels in when Helen tugged me forwards.

There!

A flicker of light.

Of hope.

We staggered through and I collapsed to my knees, coughing and gasping as I gulped in lungfuls of crisp, clean air. I blinked blurry eyes before glancing around… Oh fuck!
