Source A — from a short story, 21st century. Ada, fourteen, is travelling alone on a night ferry.
(lines 1–8)
The ferry had been late leaving, and by the time it cleared the harbour wall the light was already going. Ada found a seat by the window on the lower deck and put her rucksack between her feet, where she could feel it. She was fourteen and had never travelled alone before, and she had promised her mother three times that she would not talk to anyone. The café had closed. A man in a hi-vis jacket walked the length of the deck, checking the doors, and did not look at her.
(lines 9–18)
Outside, the sea had changed. In the harbour it had been flat and oily, the colour of old pennies; now it heaved. Each wave came at the window like something that had been waiting for them, rose, and slapped the glass so hard that the spray hung there for a second before the wind tore it off. The ferry did not so much sail as lurch. It climbed, hung at the top with its engines groaning, and dropped, and every drop left Ada's stomach a moment behind. The window was black except where the deck lights caught the foam, which came and went in ragged white handfuls. Somewhere a door that nobody had shut banged, and banged, and banged.
(lines 19–24)
She held the rucksack strap and counted the bangs. Twelve. Twenty. She told herself the crew did this every night; that the man in the jacket had walked past as if nothing were happening; that a thing which happens every night cannot be dangerous. At thirty she stopped counting, because a light had come on at the far end of the deck, and it was moving.
