• Beginnings 

 

1. Do you know, when you just have a feeling deep down inside that you have made a terrible mistake? Well, that day, high up in the mountains, I couldn’t help feeling anxious that we had made a terrible mistake leaving the main mountain path. “Are you sure you know the way back?”, I shouted to Tom, uneasily, trying to be heard above the howling wind.

2. Endings
