Have you ever been curious? Well in the city of Glassgow down a dark alley of shops a massive shop opened everyone was confused it just came out of nowhere it’s made out uneven bricks and vines and roots growing across the building, it looked like it had been there for years the vines were there like I was aged, but it just came out nowhere.
Chapter 1
It was a dark and stormy night Kendrick was homeless trying to find shelter for the night. He went down dark alley with a lit-up sign spelling out “THE SECRET EMPORIUM.” He ran down the alley drenched in rain he reached the door praying it would open “please, please, please” he reapted the door swung open as he about to open it he was met with golden chandeliers, and bookshelf’s standing tall over everything, birds flew over him, and a lot of animal trophies scattered everywhere. But the main part was a stand in the middle of the room with a book that said, “The book of wonders – do not drop.”
Kendrick picked it up as he did it, he felt a cold hand on his shoulder “I see you’ve found my book of wonders?” As the two crows landed on his shoulder; “If I were you, I would not open it or write…” As the man slowly walked down a dark hall of doors.
Chapter two
Kendrick had to open it he was seeing tons of room sketches some were forests with tons animals. He was reading through when an animal jumped out at him making him drop the book, he tried catch but it was too late the book edge has hit the ground everything went in slow motion as it was hitting the ground he just heard “what have you done!” he was sucked into the book all he could see were bright colours all around him he was just falling in a loop the walls were closing in on him he was blacking out. He finally woke up it felt like it had been days he had passed out for. “Where, am I…”
He was in a massive forest of trees and monkeys jumping through the trees, birds flying out trees it was so peaceful until, everything started running or flying away from a massive row of trees a massive hippo started charging towards him, he ran as fast as he could it was catching up to him it was inches away from him he quickly made right turn towards a nearby mineshaft he jumped into falling into a cart as he did he heard a massive crash as the hippo tried ramming in to the small caved in entrance. The cart started moving forwards there was a drop ahead that was going almost straight down. He had no chance of stopping it he had to wait till he was at the bottom. It took about ten minutes to reach the bottom.
Chapter 3
As he got out the cart, he was met with three different tunnels with massive arches they all had signs one saying “fast but dangerous” the other saying “slow but less danger” last one said “DO NOT ENTER” Kendrick had no idea on what to pick but he made the decision, but he picked fast but dangerous…
It looked like a long pathway with no end to it, but he kept on going on he was on edge remembering the sign “Fast but Dangerous” he was nervous he didn’t know what to expect. He had been going down this tunnel for about half’n’hour but nothing no danger that was what he thought anyway he had been walking for an hour, so he stopped for a break he sat down and leaned against the wall. “BANG” “What the…” Kendrick mumbled It sounded like the hippo had just came tumbling down the shaft he picked up the pace as fast as possible he was running “BOOM” the wall beside him came clattering down as a lion roared! So, he ran down the lane he could see the end “BOOM” the wall clattered on to Kendrick. He was unconscious.
Chapter 4
Kendrick woke up with a jolt and he swiftly checked if he had all of his belongings. He could sense he wasn’t alone he felt the breath of something behind him, he slowly turned around to see four lion cubs sleeping behind him them there was a massive lion in a deep sleep he slowly backed up checking what was behind him. He seemed to be in something that looked like huge cave with sand dripping down into it. He could see an exit into the forest, he stood up and dawdled towards the exit as he did it stumbled. He looked back to see the lion giving him deathly stare; Kendrick backed up keeping his eyes on the lion as it walked towards him when he knew he was at the exit he turned and sprinted.
Knowing the lion was behind him he bolted into the trees he could hear branches snapping behind him, he knew that the lion was catching up to him, so he changed direction the lion skidded on the leaves it was right behind him he jumped up onto a tree and started jumping onto the branches the lion was running beneath him he leaped to a vine swinging over a pond. The lion went flying into the lake he seen a hallway covered in vines with a door at the end he rushed over into the hall and burst out of the door. “Did you find what you wanted?” No Kendrick said “well you are always welcome” He said with joy. Kendrick walked out the door of the emporium and he thought “just one more look” So he turned around, but nothing was there just a blank space in the street “hm strange well, must’ve been a dream I guess” Kendrick said confused. The emporium never came back Kendrick always came to the alley just to see but nothing was ever in its place.
