Day: 24. June 2009

“OHHHHH MYYYYYY GOSHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Wind rushed past me, whipping my hair widely. I clamped my eyes shut, trying to focus on screaming, rather than what will happen when I hit the bottom.

I struck my arm out, and clutched something cold and hard. The ladder! My body swung and hit the ladder hard. I pulled myself up a bit, and got my feet onto the rail. That, was a close one.

“Excuse me? Anyone?” I called up. I saw the sky, no bigger than my attic window, and then the old lady’s head poking over it.

“Darling, are you alright?” She asked, and she didn’t sound too happy.

“Yeah, lucky I grabbed this ladder!” I yelled. I heard clambering, and her body whizzed past mine.

“Come on, you’re at the bottom anyway.” She said in a grouchy voice. I looked down, and so I was! Lucky I grabbed the ladder just in time…

I could barely see in the dim hole, but I could now see a round, wooden door. I jumped off the rail, and stumbled right into the door.

“It’s got a handle for a reason, you silly girl.” Scowled the lady, and twisted the handle and pulled the door open with a slow, loud creek. Creepy.

“Inside, my darling.” The lady cooed at me, and gently pushed me inside. I can’t believe I STILL didn’t even know her name.

“Right-o” I said, in a cheerfully fake voice, and took a step through the door. Then the stench hit me. Disgusting! It was as if she had sprayed a million cans of air-refresher! A bit over the top, and really gross.

Trying to ignore the flowery stench, I looked around. It was if she was a hobbit. The room was circular, and the bed, kitchen and lounge were all smashed together to make one giant room. It was a bit cosy.

“Nice places.” I noted, and sat down slowly on the red bedraggled couch. It sank very low.

“Thank you my dear. Now, would you like a cuppa?” She asked, pattering around the kitchen area.

I nodded, and looked for the TV. Hmm, there didn’t seem to be one. So instead I just watched the lady make a cup of tea.

Ohhhhhh whats gonna happen next? Stay tuned!
