Prompt: Write a story about a trap door that is not a mystery or a suspense story. Instead, make it a sweet, old-fashioned love story. Also, include people with two different accents and bring it to a happy ending before you hit 400 words.

Hi my name is Maddie Bermham. I am 25 years old. At my work we have always been told never to touch the candle stick in the back room. It was my birth day today.15 years of not pulling that candle stick. Ya well I was going to pull it today. I walked into the back room away from everyone in the main room. I walked over to the dusty candle on the wall and tugged on it. It did not budge one bit. I pulled and pulled until I heard the metal groan. I was startled when a section of the wall flung inward. Inside the trap door was a long hall way that was lit by light bulbs hanging from the ceiling. I stepped into the clean stone hall. The stone was smooth. walked down the hall until it let to a large room with a handsome man chained to the wall.

He looked up when I walked over to him. His brown eyes found mine. He had brown facial hair and long hair. He had two matching gashes on the sides of his face. I could see his muscular and gashed up chest because he was only wearing jeans and his chains. "What are you doing down here?" He asked.

"I just wanted to see what was down here. Who are you and why are you down here?"

"My name is Jace Kay. I was the owner of this business until your boss came in and imprisoned my down here." His Irish voice was deep and soothing.

I soon found myself leaning in and kissing him passionately. He returned the kiss.

I pulled back to get air and said with my airy British voice "My name is Maddie Bermham. I think I'm in love with you."

He smiled. "I think I'm in love with you too Maddie. Love at first sight."

Right then I knew that I would love him forever. I would get him out of here, even if it was the last thing I did. I pulled out some first aid things from my pocket and got to fixing his wounds on his chest and face. When I was done fixing him up I pulled a bobby pin out of my long blond hair and started to unlock his chains.
