Summary:
Close to the edge is a short story written by Cecile Kruger. In this text, the main character is a teenager named Opal, who is presumably travelling down a narrow road on a hillside with her mother in the desert, and they have been travelling on foot like this for days. They haven't accessed food or water for an amount of days, and they are tired and thirsty. Opal gets very tired and thinks of interesting things to keep her mind off thirst, but that leads her too close to the edge and she nearly falls off the cliff. As the sun sets, a laurel-green smoke can be seen in the sky, and after being swamped in dust and sweat for many days Opal finds a small slit on the cliffside, and she begins to investigate inside. She soon finds something wet, that seems to wrap around her feet.
The author does not directly tell us what this wet thing is, but does give the audience multiple clues, and the wet substance is highly likely to be water.
Animation: In the Animation, the main character, Opal can be seen in blue clothing, and the mother is wearing the red shirt:
