Unfurl
The instructions were simple and neat. I had to go straight, change and come back. I "thought" I could manage, squarely subtle. I mean, how could I get this wrong and what is the worst that could happen? (a thought) Unlikely!
But why were my hands clammy, feet cold and an assumed stillness in all the madness?
I blew a breath and started, clips clicked, and I was going. My gut grappled with the gravitas of gravity.
Then I grew warmer, the sunshine thawing my cold. I embrace and fly! Higher and Higher.
Zip Lined between echoes of the hills.

Homework! I’ll have to give this the ‘overnight test’!

Ah! Now maybe I get it a tiny bit. Firstly though, I love the quartet in G! I think it might be something about skiing, but having never skied, any knowledge of the activity is tangential and not experiential. It reads well and maybe I’ll solve the mystery on re-reading...

Such a shame! I didn't write well, Neville.
It's about Zip-Lining, not skiing. -

Don’t blame your writing, Verity. It’s my failure to anthropomorphise! But in truth, we don’t get so many cable cars here in gently rolling Hertfordshire. There are kids’ zipwires in a couple of the local village play parks though. Great fun for the little-uns!

Neville, I clearly didn't get this one right too...
It' about a zip-lining experience which I shared, its not about cable car anthropomorphosis. I meant to say I am like the cable car zip lined between the hills. Apologies. -
