The Secret Room (book 1 in the Secret Room Trioligy

Chapter 1

John was having a normal Saturday afternoon, he was sitting on the couch playing video games and drinking soda. "John get off your lazy butt and pick up your room. This is the last time I'm going to tell you or your grounded" screamed his mom. "Okay okay, sheesh..." Whispered John. He gets up and scratches his belly and then heads towards the stairs. He walks up the stairs and then he turns and walks into his room with blue painted walls and there are clothes, pillows, and blankets all over his floor. He starts grabbing a pile of garbage and starts throwing it all into his closet. He's about to leave his room when he decides to vacuum because he doesn't want to be yelled at even more. He can't remember where the vacume is so he throws a Coke can into his closet and it hits the wall. Hey that sounded hollow John thought. No it can't be. Yes it can. He runs over to his closet and starts knocking on the wall. He knocks on his poster that has been up since he was a baby. He didn't realize that he didn't take it down. He thought he took it down like a year or two ago. He tries to take it off, but it's stuck like its glued on. He pulls and pulls and pulls. It won't budge. He runs into the garage and grabs a screwdriver from his dad's tool box. When he got back up he started jabbing the poster and it ripped he teared the rest off it, it took and hour and 30 minutes. It's just wall. He's so angry he punches the wall and then his mom screams and says "JOHN WILLCOCK THERE BETTER NOT BE A HOLE IN YOUR WALL, IF THERE IS YOUR PAYING FOR IT". He quickly runs towards the door and locks the door. His mom runs up the stairs and is trying to open it, "John open this door this instant". He ignores her and realizes there is a handle where the hole is he grabs the handle and tries to pull it. It won't come through the wall. He takes a bat from his baseball bag and starts smashing the wall. His mom is trying to slam down the door. When he can see the whole trap door he grabs the handle and pulls it. His mom almost has the door down. All John sees is a dark hole. It could be 10 inches down or it could be 200 feet down he doesn't know so he quickly grabs a rope from under his bed and throws it down. It lands in about 4 seconds. The door had cracks and it's literally almost off. He can see his moms hair coming through the crack of the door. He quickly ties a knot into the leg of his pool table and jumps down, right when the door smashes down. He hears the knot untie and the trapdoor closing. The rope falls in front of him and now he's going down about 30 miles per hour and he has a lot of rope burns. "HELP HELP, CAN ANYONE HEAR ME" John yells as loud as he cans. He knows he's going to die. This is a lot longer than what he heard when he dropped the rope earlier. It's about 1 minute later when he sees the ground. "HELLLLPPPP" he screams so loud his own ears pop. Then it's all dark.
