We stood there looking at it for a few seconds.

It seemed to crawl by.

"'Eventually I worked out which tree it was hanging from.

"'The broken rope swing at my feet confirmed it.

"'Way up, out of reach, the lantern hung above our heads, "'tied to the other end of the rope that still dangled from the darkness.'

I couldn't work it out.

It was high up, too high up for even a ladder.

The trees were thin and bare, besides the leaves that made up the canopy.

There was nowhere to climb.

Picking up the length of rope that had snapped off earlier, I bundled it up and tied a knot and aimed at the lantern.

I took a step back and jumped, tossing it into the air.

It caught the lantern on its side and sent it swinging.

It threw shadows rocking around us.

I suddenly wished it hadn't hit it.

The light made the shadows lean from side to side with the lantern.

The horrible, unnatural swaying made me panic and my eyes became wet as fear took a solid hold of me.

I picked up the rope again and lobbed it desperately at the lantern.

I missed and the bundle of rope sailed off into the darkness.

Helplessly, I turned to Chris, who had already grabbed his backpack.

He span around and threw it with the yelp, and it hit the lantern dead on.
