Soaking wet with darkness approaching, another
gate appeared which I again opened and shut.

mountain road which had no shoulder or guard rail.

I was nearing the top of the hill and the road had
narrowed with a breath taking view of the valley below.
There were no buildings or people in sight – only sheep,
cows and mud.

As the driving path had many sharp curves, I was
hugging the inside of the mountain as much as possible.
However, I was not prepared for the shear drop-off that
suddenly appeared. In a split second my car swerved
sharply towards the cliff, the tires spun and I was stuck
hanging over the cliff.
