Fallout

Sandra Glover

'It was too late to move. He'd almost reached her. It was like that moment that's supposed to happen just before you die, when everything comes rushing back, your life flashing before you. Only this wasn't her whole life, just the worst part.'

The music pulses, lights flash and raised voices echo in Hannah's head. Her parents are away and her impromptu house-party has got completely out-of-hand. But when Hannah wakes up the next morning with her head throbbing and the house wrecked, she realises these are the least of her problems. From the fallout of the party emerges an accusation of rape that tears friends apart, divides opinion and shatters lives.
