The next day, after a long hardworking day at school , me and Martha took a trip to the local hardware store on Sherbet Street. We searched along the aisles to find a magnifying glass, but not a single one was to be found.
" Um... Excuse me sir, Do you have any magnifying glass?" Martha asked politely.
" Aisle 14 on the bottom right " The man named Rocker, said grinning.
Martha and I scanned the aisle numbers until we reached number 14. It was a narrow, cold aisle with hammers, screwdrivers and all sorts of other tools that we didn't even know existed. It seemed like a never ending road.
We finally reached the bottom of aisle 14, when suddenly there was a power cut. The aisle seemed much more scary without bright lights, I started to shiver
" W-what happened ?" Martha said, she wasn't keen of the dark.
" nothing ... Just a power cut", I said ,squinting my eyes as I tried to look for the magnifying glass " there are no magnifying glasses... let's look for a torch then make our way out of here "
Martha held up a torch that she had grabbed from her bag and shined it bright at the other end of the aisle.
" I don't like this ... It's like some sort of horror movie " Martha whispered.
" come on ... " I said as I started walking, expecting Martha to Follow.
" It's like ... A trap !" I mumbled to Martha.
" I hope we get out " Martha answered as I felt her shiver next to me.
We were going to get out no matter what.
