Book Extract...
The doors to the cattle truck
slammed shut as they filled the last few, precious spaces in the already
over-crowded car. The train jerked to life and sped off as we began our journey
into the unknown.
The car was damp, dark, with
only a few slivers of light filtering through the small gaps in the wooden
boarding. People sobbed, terrified for their lives. Terrified of the unknown.
We were jammed into a corner;
hot, fetid bodies beside us. We wrapped our arms around us as tears trickled
down my cheeks and I silently cried. What would become of us? What would become
of Abby, my other head? One could not survive without the other. Were we doomed
to die on this trip into hell?
Days passed by slowly, I had no
idea how long we had been in the hot, airless car. The train had stopped once
or twice and, although I tried hard to peer through the gaps in the boards,
nothing could be seen. No-one came for
us. No food, no water and only one bucket to relieve ourselves in. One bucket
for more than eighty people, most of whom could not get near it.
Where can I buy this fabulous book?
