Day One

to come

One line on what this day was: the miles, the sightings, the camp at the end of it.

One evocative line to open the day.

First light

Where the day began

Opening paragraph, written once the day's story lands. The wake-up knock, coffee by the fire, what the night left printed in the sand.

Caption, short and evocative.
Into the bush

The day's drive

The main movement of the day: the game drive, the dunes, the long gravel miles, whatever the day put in front of the family.

In camp — interlude

A lighter human aside from the day. The camp table, the sighting retold and improved, tomorrow's early start agreed and instantly doubted.

Around the fire — in their words

The fire log

The best of the family's messages and voice notes, tidied only enough to read.

“A line from around the fire goes here.”

Golden hour

Sundowners

Closing prose. Where the sun went down, what walked past camp, the sky after the fire died.

Closing caption.

A short italic envoi, the feeling to leave on.
