At first, the swing felt right. The air rushed past his ears. The vine held.

But just as he reached the center, right above the deepest part of the quicksand, there was a snap.

“I can’t! I’m slipping!” His voice cracked, the fear raw and human.

Abuchi reached out, instinctively grabbing her arm. “Nnenna, don’t—!”
