Wandering in the Unknown

Wandering In The Unkown

Short Story
Thrilled I was to locate a secret door behind my cupboard. Disoriented, thinking what should I do or should I tell anyone. Wildly guessing what could be behind that door. The spirit of inquiry out of curiosity made me open the door. As I did so, a flash of light dazzled my eyes to find a complete new place. I put all my courage and stepped inside into the wonderland. An abundant question sprung into my mind. I rubbed my eyes finding no change. I was in a fairyland!

Joyfully, I entered the place. When I did so I heard a loud din and very childlike voice calling my name out. I turned and saw a legendary creature ~ A Fairy. I was delighted it all felt like a dream. She asked whether she could be a guide for me. I replied mannerly a positive answer. She was soft spoken and her voice was serene and calm. I really liked her company.

After a long ramble we came into the most beautiful scenery of the place. Just as I was about to speak and turned around the fairy had already left. I was so mesmerized by the vista that I couldn't think of anything else. The place was illustrative and picturesque. The waterfall raced down in a series of succession of spectacular cataracts. Tiny white blossoms and blooms all over, made my heart flutter .

The flora and vendure made my heart inactive. I laid down on the meadow. Those soft greenary with some splashes of water on it made it so comfortable that i couldnt realize when I fell asleep. After a while when I woke up it was already evening. Everything was alright, until I stood up to find myself infront of my house in the garden. I truged up the stairs and rummaged through the cupboard but there was no door to be found. I still don't know how I reached the garden from my room, it's enexplicable. But it was a pleasant vacation. Wandering in the unknown, I call it.
