A Story

(Hey guys I know I said I would update but I fell asleep and then had a test the next day ;( XD sorry about that!!)

Ableu stood. Frozen on the center of his twin bed. He laughed and grabbed his backpack. Looks like he's going to that address.

Ableu picked up some cash from his allowance jar and his phone and headphones along with it.

Ableu dashed down the stairs, almost tripping on the last one. "Woah! Honey, where are you going?" Ableu froze once more, "I'm going to Jason's house!" Ableu replied in a rush. His mom raised a brow then thought better of it. "Alright, but be back before six!!" His mom called after him.

By now Ableu was already out the door.

                               ~~~

Ableu looked up from the letter for the fifth time. He couldn't believe it. The... Store? That's where this letter came from?! Ableu thought. "Hey, kid... What on God's green Earth are you looking at?" A man in a tall black hat said.

"Uhm..." Ableu looked puzzled. Can he not... Can he not see the store?! Ableu thought. "Well well well, if it isn't Ableu Fredricks. Please come in come in..." Someone had stepped out of the store an into the street.

He was wearing a long, thick evergreen colored suit with a white dress shirt, a black tie, and a matching top hat with black ribbon. Nothing like what Ableu was wearing.

"O-oh uhm a-alright..." Ableu sheepishly stuttered. The green-suited man chuckled slightly at Ableu's trouble with words. Ableu flushed, embarrassed.

Once Ableu entered the inside of the shop, he did a double take. Everything was different from just a few hours ago. Instead of cobwebs everywhere, there were lovely neon colored ribbons in huge bows. Instead if that old man he saw from earlier, there was the suited man, and instead of barely anything on the shelves, there was candy stocking them.

"This is a magical place, it's used as a portal for lost souls to find happiness and peace for a few seemingly endless hours you know." The man says. He had a sort of sweet and knowing British accent to his voice. Ableu was soothed by this.

"Ah, I see that you're soul is relaxing now. Perhaps, you would like a root beer float?" The man asks him. Ableu can only nod politely.

The man takes a glass from under the shelf of his desk. Ableu walks over to the counter and works up the courage to ask this question: "Where's the old man from earlier?" Ableu asks rather quickly.

The man looks up. "You've met Darol?" He asks; the man looks scared almost. "Y-yes..?" Ableu answers. The man puts the glass down and stands straight up. "Ableu, you shouldn't be here then." The man looks away.
