This deep narrow, ditch was more of a torture chamber than a safe place. Decaying aromas forced me to gag. I involuntarily squeaked as a rat clambered over my feet. Faint coughing echoed throughout the suffocating chamber. Time heaved on, but always seemed to slow, as if the weight on its back got heavier as each painful minute passed. Another period of gunfire... Another malevolent wind, poised to attack... Another rat, bracing itself to devour a fresh corpse... Time loitering, dragging out our agonising torment.
