From a place that is not here.

The Base

I felt a tiny round button extruding from the smooth pillar. I gently pushed on it with my index finger. A previously unnoticeable tile slid open on the side of the pillar facing me reveling a keypad screen lit from behind like a computer. The numbers only went up to nine, starting at zero. My fingers seeming to fly, I punched in a 10 digit code, 1395836790. The keypad then lit green and the word "Confirmed" appeared under the numbers. The green light disappeared and the tile slid back into place. I heard the creek of the metal door opening. Turning to the door, I waited a moment longer for the door to finish opening wide enough to allow me to enter. my feet silently walked inside of the stone and metal opening. I breathed in the cold air and sighed. it was lovely to be home.

The door slid shut behind me a moment later. I looked around and saw darkness. Reaching behind me, I felt a small lever and pulled it down. The room was quickly bathed in light. I grinned at the familiar sight of stone chiselled walls. The room was averaged sized and L shaped. The long side had a hall that extended around behind a corner reaching right and beyond my vision and a wooden door that led to a tiny storage room that held my weapons and anything I might want on hand if I was working on something outside. On the short side had a latter extending straight up and all the way to the top of the mountain right above it. The latters end was a watchtower hidden in the tip of the mountain peak. The ground of the room was smooth and the roof was chiselled like the walls, all made of the same light gray stone. Actually, every part of the base was the same when it came to the walls, roof and floor.

I made my way forward, casually walking around the corner of the hall I mentioned. Not far down the hall there was a wooden door, the same as the one on the storage room. Inside that door was a small grain farm, wattered by small pools betwwen the rows of grain and it got sunlight from imitating light bulbs that hung from the ciling. I have other farms litterd around the base, carrots, herbs, potatos, you know, the works. I was coming up to the steps leading downwards on the end of the hall. I made my way down. At the bottom of the steps the hall split, one to the right, and one to the left. The halls both held random wooden doors, each leading to a different room. In part of the right hall there was a row of prison cells, 11 in total. There was a carrot farm in front of the steps I just came down. On the left side off me there was a door beside the steps that led to a small bedroom, and 3 doors that led to individual rooms that held my dogs, beside each door there was a dog door. At the end of both halls there was a set of steps that led downward again, but this time at the bottom of the steps the halls met and created another hall. Filled with different doors like the others.

This hole base was a labyrinth off halls, steps, and doors that led to rooms. All the rooms have a use, weather it be sleeping, entertainment, food, ext... it had a use none the less. And it was ever expanding, on level eight, I'm working on 13 bedrooms, 1 meeting room, 1 bathroom, 1 large kitchen and a office. It was hard, ill admit. Breaking all the stone into rubble: sealing it in a scroll, installing the lighting, plumbing if needed, smoothing the ground, roof and walls, chiselling the brick lines on the walls and roof, installing doors and furnishing the rooms and don't forget I have to make the beds, nightstands, closets, weave rugs and everything else, it was tiring. And when I'm not expanding I'm gardening, sharpening my weapons or whatever else needs to get done. I'm going to stop ranting now...erm sorry...

I made my way to the library on level 4. I wanted to have a break for once. Once I arrived I opened  the door to find the rows of shelfs filled with books. I grabbed one that read "Ash   James Herbert" and cracked the spine for the first time. I began to read, slowly drifting out of the real world and into the pages.
