• I managed to get past the guards without attracting attention to myself. I crept past the block that had the sign ‘restricted area’ boldly written on it.

Unlike the other night, I walked cautiously this time, avoiding sharp rocks and digging my toes into the hot sand to keep me steady and stop me from rolling down the sloppy little hill.
