pp 11 - 27 Section 2 || Kurdistan Harir Cave || Mark Colin Talzani || Mark recovers consciousness and seeks help, eventually returning home Mark, after the attack, struggles down a hillside, forcing himself to stand and push forward. During the dark off the night he imagines himself in the nightscope of a rifle, he chants to himself "stay calm" and the last plea of a thousand dead men, "I don't want to die here". Mark reaches a blackened river, he walks in knee deep, its then that he finds himself rushing down the river with the current. The strap on his backpack gets caught on a rock and pulls tight around his neck, pinching the life out of him. Just for a moment the strap goes slack and he frees himself. He sits under a tree, shivering the night away. SECTION 2 || * 'Your fate decided by the colour of plastic. Get a yellow and be shunted aside. Get red and be treated.
