We had to move. Dad found a new job. I didn’t mind though. Everyone at my old school bullied me. Maybe here, they wouldn’t. It was a bew school, so new people, new opportunities. When we arrived, I grabbed my bags. And observed the house. It was old and moss-covered but quite pretty. I watched as my dad walked up to the front door and unlocked it swinging the door wide. I looked inside. The house was empty. The floor was old and wooden, the walls white. I looked down the hall. My room was on the end. Well, my dad searched the rest of the house I went to my room. It was bigger than my old one. The walls were purple, my favorite color, instead of white like the rest of the house. I set my stuff down, looking around the room. My room. At that time I heard a crash in the other room. I quickly turned and ran to the sound, finding my dad next to a bunch of fallen boxes.

“Sorry. I knocked them over.” My dad informed me. This was usual for him. He was clumsy. He smiled sheepishly. “So, how do you like this house so far? I know it’s not the best-“ “I like it. A lot.” My dad looked surprised for a second before smiling. “Good. I’m glad. Did you know this place has a basement? Maybe you could go exploring.” I nod at my dads suggestion. “Yeah that would be fun.” I reply, honestly before helping my dad pick up the fallen boxes.

Afterwards, I walk over to the basement door. It was white, like the rest of the house. Other then my room. I opened the door and it creaked as I did. I pee down into the basement. The bottom of the stairs is dark since the lights were off. I slowly stepped on the first stair. This stair was silent. The rest weren’t. As I made my way down the stairs, I reached out looking for a light switch. When I finally found one, the lights flickered on, the light dim. I looked around the small basement. Then I saw it. A small door. Just enough for a child like me to enter. Where it lead, I didn’t know. But I soon would know. I walked over to it. Opening it seeing only darkness. It was an underground passage way. Ready to be explored.
