... original interior for storage space. Elli's father hadn't yet had the time to restore it. He had replaced the flooring that had been damaged through neglect, wear and tear. Planks of Paulownia wood now covered the entire rear three quarters of the Camper Van. Curtains, dark grey in colour which practically screamed her father's taste in fabrics, had been put in place on the windows lining the van, the only decorative refurbishment he had made so far. Piled in one corner of the van were boxes of supplies that Elli had organised including batteries for the space heater she had borrowed from her father's workshop. The same batteries would also provide a charging station for other appliances like phones, cameras and laptops. Also, there were some bean bag chairs she had liberated from her parents' attic which had been tossed into the back. Lastly, she saw that three tightly rolled sleeping bags were nestled alongside the supplies.

I just don't get it and what I don't understand, I don't like." "What exactly don't you like Papa?" "This challenge of yours." The challenge. There was a trend on most social media platforms for people to undertake challenges, dares and tasks, posting them online for viewers entertainment. Challenges could be anything from eating a mouth meltingly hot pepper, lip syncing to a song or applying makeup in the dark. The challenge Elli was undertaking was to spend twenty-four hours in the campervan. By itself, not much of a challenge and certainly not one that would spike her subscriber numbers. That was where Deke and Jay came into things. "It will be fine Papa. I promise." "You don't... you don't get it. I don't like you with these strangers. It's a risk you are taking.
