She couldn’t breathe through the heart throbbing in her throat and the shivers racking her body.
The ute roared down the road, spraying up dirt until she pulled it right, off the track and through the open gates of the paddock. Through the rain she caught a glimpse of red, the same red as the farm bike.
She jolted towards it, shifting into a higher gear as the motor screamed above the raucous rain, the paddock rattling her and the vehicle thoroughly with its rutted surface and long, dry grass crushed beneath the wheels.
