I slipped to a daily total of 400 yesterday - but I'm still well above target.

A snippet ..

Spoiler:

Tensing his body he arched his back and started to lunge forward to throw the container into the water. In the split second before release an arm interrupted his movement and a man knocked the container.
It was too late, Tom had put a lot of energy into the preparation of throwing the container and, despite the intervention, it sailed out away from them. It snagged on the netting about 10 yards out.
Tom railed against the man, lashing out with the full force of one leg. He felt the impact and the obvious sensation of a bone shattering on impact with his foot. The frustration that had been hidden inside him, since the last attack, came out and he hurled the man away from him.
He ran eastward.
Quickly.
Leaving his backpack.
Leaving his container.
Leaving his dreams.
Behind.
