Tinky-Winky braced himself against the howling, hot wind that blasted him. The teletubbies were on a small precipice and an a thousand foot drop loomed at them. They inched their way across the small foothold.
Tinky-Winky coughed. The air was thick and smoggy, and Tinky-Winky could feel the effect on his lungs. His eyes burned and he squeezed them shut, hoping to ease the pain.
He misstepped and let out a strangled cry as he found himself, in mid air.
Tinky-Winky reached out a hand and grabbed onto the ledge, hanging on by his fingers. Terror coursed through his veins.
"Help!" he cried as the other teletubbies gasped in horror.
Laa-Laa rushed into action, leaping and grabbing his arm before his fingers let go.
Tinky-Winky found himself gasping for breath, heart going a hundred beats a minute as Laa-Laa pulled him up.
She let go of his arm quickly and Tinky-Winky noticed the color that rushed to her face.
Tinky-Winky's gaze flicked to Dipsy who was frowning at them. Tinky-Winky ignored Dipsy's glare and began to walk again thanking Laa-Laa as he passed her. He could still feel Dipsy's eyes glaring daggers at him as he continued shakily across the ledge willing his feet to be steady.
The path widened out, and a flat rocky clearing opened up in front of them.
"We'll camp here for the night," Dipsy spoke up sternly, cutting off Tinky-Winky before he could suggest the same.
Tinky-Winky didn't let it bother him, just placed his bag on the ground and used it as a pillow. In a matter of seconds Tinky-Winky drifted off to sleep, slumber engulfing his mind.
As the teletubbies fell asleep a sharp, menacing noise echoed across the mountains.
