Too Far away 2015

Chapter 1

Chapter one

Ding dong. The sound echoes of the walls of our small house.
"Coming", I call. I walk down the hall, I open the door and see my best friend Fred,
"hey"
"you ready.
"For what?"
"Scuba diving "
,"OMG"
I completely forgot, I'll be five minutes,
"ohhk" he replies, I can hear a hint of frustration in his voice. I sprint to my room, I quickly put on a jumper and grab my new scuba gear I got for christmas, I also grab my old rusty spear gun my dad gave me for christmas, The gun weighs done my body as I run back to the front door.
" where you going" my dad yells.
" scuba diving with Fred" I shout back,
"ooh here's a waterproof radio in case you get in trouble"
" ohh thanks" I reply, I make the sarcasm clear in my voice, "bye".

As we walk down the uneven concrete I remember we both forgot something
"Fred" what about our weight belts
"Oh yeah"
"There's a place that sells them"
"the guy looks a bit scary, but it's okay".

As we walk towards the run down house with a rusty sign, I read
" Harry's dive gear" I repeat as we look up at the sign, One side has fallen from its stand onto the top of the building. ''Lets go'' We walk into the small run down shop, the aisles that must have used to hold all the items have rotten, The white marble counter has a fine layer of dust on it, We walk up to the counter and ring the small little bell, "RING!!" I cover my ears as the piercing noise cuts through my hands and into my ears, The small rotten door at the back of the room opens quickly as a small man who looks around 40 walks out, "How can I help you" He asks his voice slurred a bit, "Uhh"... "we just need some weight belts" " well you're in luck "... "I've got two left" "their a bit old and rusty but they should be fine, The big circular belt looks huge, and their are big needle looking things poking out from the inside, " Uhh"... " what are those needle looking things, " Oh" those are the holding needles that hold the belt in" ''okay''.... ''ummm, Do you have any other waterproof radios?" The shopkeeper runs into the back room, I can hear the clattering of things falling over, After a few minutes he finally opens the small rotten door holding a small brick sized radio, ''Here you go'' he says, "how much do you want? "nothing it's all free. "okay I reply thanks, I hand the radio to fred as we leave the shop.
