Damp as a rain forest, like a cookie in the oven
in real, on the never-ending road watching followers passing by,
my legs heavy as rocks, but still against giving up.
Short Story based on the poem 'I wandered lonely as a cloud - William Wordsworth'
The magic door
“Come on, open it,” said Tara, “Don’t you want to know what this mystery door is for?”
“Well, then how about you open it? Why me?” Bella replied.
“Oh, fine. I’ll do it then.” Replied Tara in annoyed voice.
So they opened the magical door which was found in the recycling bin by the two girls, Bella and Tara. When they first saw it, it appeared as a rubber but when they touched it, it became big like a normal door. Bella and Tara were horrified, it was not a possible thing to happen! Although they were surprised and scared, they were also very curious about the door, so they decided to open it.
“Take a big breath Tara,” said Bella, “I’ll count, you open it, one, two… three! Now!”
KOOOOOOSH!
As soon as they opened the door, they entered a magic world. They both didn’t know what happened. For a minute, they were wondering around thoughtless, feeling like there was nothing but them two. They suddenly felt lonely as a cloud - thousands of beautiful trees, continuous stars, golden daffodils dancing as if they were alive, a never ending river, but too far away.
Suddenly, mysterious animals were staring right towards them. Three eyes, 7 hands and their body made out of helpless human bones. The biggest and the fattest, the ‘boss of the monsters slowly walked towards Bella and Tara.
“What on earth… Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” whispered Bella, “Run!!!”
They ran as fast as they had never been in their life without knowing where they’re going. They kept running and running… as if they were trying to escape out of such loneliness the felt in their heart. This place was the world of loneliness, and the monsters are the ones protecting it. No matter how fast they ran, it was useless. The monster appeared right in front of them.
“Hi,” said the mysterious creature.
Bella and Tara freaked out.
“What…on earth is that thing?!” Said Bella in horrified voice.
“…Are we dreaming? Try to wake up, okay?” Tara replied, hardly breathing.
Then the unknown voice shouted out loudly.
The monster laughed, “Indeed, you are not. This is real, and I’m real.” said the monster, “Don’t worry kids, I will not scare you anymore, for your life is about to end.
Suddenly, it jumped high and dumped them with a knife and a fork. When the knife and a fork had just about to make a hole in Tara’s heart, it all disappeared. Everything was black. It was like a nightmare.
When they woke up, it was all gone. The magic door, the forest and the mystery creature. All gone, the only thing left was a ordinary rubber on Tara’s hand. Somehow, they knew that it wasn’t a dream.
“Phew, never open this door again. Ever.” Said Bella in a relaxed voice.
“Uh-huh.” Tara replied. “Let’s just say it was a dream, I love you sis.”
They both laughed.
“Come on, open it,” said Tara, “Don’t you want to know what this mystery door is for?”
“Well, then how about you open it? Why me?” Bella replied.
