A short story by FLORENCE TURNER Reader John Bett
' At the far side of the clearing stood a temple, small, indeterminate, built of stone corroded now by heat and rain and white ants. Curiously, no one spoke.
' An atavistic silence held them, and they stayed where they were wonderinglv, like frozen statues in the game children play.'
Producer PATRICK RAYNER
