This choice: It suddenly becomes dark. • Go Back...
Chapter #5
It suddenly becomes dark.
by: Unknown
...which is strange..considering the fact that it's noontime.
However, when he looks up, he sees a big dark cloud gathering over the house..which has shunned the sunlight to a certain extent.
"The owner of the house has invited you inside" informs the watchman and opens the imposing iron gate with spikes at the top.
"Go straight up the gravel path and it would lead you to the house" growled the watchman, as if the owner had invited the boy against his wishes.
The boy thanked him and continued up the path as instructed, all the while wondering about the inmates of this beautiful, beautiful house.
In his thoughts, he could see the chandlers..the paintings..the woodwork...that one would generally associate with such a structure and it made him a bit nervous.
"Please come in!" He heard the voice before he actually saw the maid.
The maid? Why on earth did he think that the girl standing in front of him was a "maid"?
Surely, there was nothing that could be made from the way she was dressed. Then, what was it?
He looked at her face...again.
Aha...there it was. She looked so...so...ordinary. No one living in such a palatial home can look so ordinary..so simple, he reasoned.
"Please come in." She repeated.
"T..Thank you!" he managed to stutter and followed her in.
