Sian and the last remaining contestants cursed forest adventure came to an end for Sian and the last remaining contestants, each emerging from the darkness and embodying both relief and despair. As the dark of the day penetrated through the canopy of twisted trees behind the canopy the weight of their experience pressed heavily on their hearts.
The forest had stripped them of their innocence and entrapped them in shadows deeper than the sun could penetrate.
Sirens wailed in the distance with a piercing sound that echoed out the remnant of the eerie grace they found so momentarily in survival The army and police flooded the scene, their uniforms bright against the muted colours of grief and horror.
They guided trembling survivors to the waiting ambulances leading them like lost sheep seeking solace.
