It all started off so normal. Just like any other rafting trip I’d been on. A safety briefing and lots of chit chat with the guides trying to keep a jovial…
The bushes in front of me rustle softly and I look ahead curiously. The ranger parts the branches with his machete and peeks through. I feel a hand on my shoulder…
