I could no longer see out the car window, the sun had disappeared and as the moon arose, we continued driving despite the conditions. 

I was starting to get a bad feeling when we zoomed past a fluoro sign, “What did the sign say dad?” I ask. 

“Oh it said dangerous conditions, but nothing to worry about they are everywhere.”

We took no notice of the sign.

A few moments later, our car started violently shaking, a huge lump came to my throat. 

Suddenly massive boulders started rushing down the mountain above us,  I knew we shouldn’t have kept going.
