About this audiobook

On the night of 22 April 2026, a young geology student became trapped beside a flash-flooded river inside Du Toitskloof Pass, in the Western Cape of South Africa. He survived, thanks to a rescue team that climbed in through rain and dark. The newspapers gave that story half a column. This novella is a fiction built on its bones — names, families, and inner lives are invented — but the river and the mountain are real, and so is the kind of courage it took to bring him home.
