Eventually we made it to the house where I sank down onto a chair in the spacious kitchen and took stock of my hosts.Frank was a big man, at least six...feet and built like the fabled brick shit house while his wife, my twin sister was only just over five feet but with all the energy and personality of a premier league football team."Are you out Johnny?" she asked and I saw the relief on her face as I nodded,"I think so" I replied, "But a lot still depends on my leg" Is it improving?" Frank asked. Sure, the tropical jungle I had always wanted to see was right behind the fogged window panes. In the beginning, I wasn’t able to get enough of it. I was fascinated by the smell, the plants and the animals. I couldn’t understand why the locals seemed to completely ignore the marvelous nature around them. After a few weeks, I began to understand them. After a few nasty encounters with the local fauna, the jungle now seemed scary, hot and made travel very uncomfortable.One of my goals had been to. "I say there, David isn't it?" I looked across at the bargee who'd shouted it was my boss, the man who owned the bakery!"Good morning sir" I said politely. "I didn't know you owned a boat" I own several in fact" he smiled, "Come aboard" and he steered it into the bank beside us, his wife came up from below and he introduced me saying,"This is David who works for me at the bakery and if I'm not mistaken this young lady is Ann who is starting with us soon, am I right?" You are sir" Annie said and. She curled up into a foetal position and thought back to two years ago when it had all began. ‘Anna get in here!’ her father yelled. She quickly ran up the stairs to her room and found him standing next to her bed looking furious. ‘Yes Dad?’ she answered whilst looking around her room for any sign that would explain why he was looking so angry at her. She found none. Anna looked up at him and saw an emotion she’d never seen before. It was the week after her birthday and her father had taken.
