The Girl in 221A Baker St.

Welcome to Baker St.

I lug the brown luggage up the steps into the front door.

"Are you sure you don't need any help Earie? I'm sure John or Sherlock would-"

"I'm fine Mrs. Hudson. And thank you so much for letting me move in. It means a lot to me."

"Oh it's nothing."

"No it really is something." I say smiling. I finally get all my laughs to the front hall area. I glance up the staircase. I hate stairs. I grit my teeth then grab the first price of luggage heaving it up the stairs. Clank! Clank! Clank! The metal bits connect with the wooden screws.

I swear I'm going to go deaf before 30.

I finally reach the top step. One more flight. I pull it upwards. Finally I get to the top. I fall to the ground. Pushing it through the door into the slightly desolate room I sigh. It isn't much and my furniture isn't arriving until tomorrow. So for now I'm in a sleeping bag and the horribly hard floor. I push the luggage to the middle of the living room. The walls are decorated with a flowery sort of wall paper and the ground is hardwood. Perfect. I absolutely hate carpet or tile. I walk back down the flight of stairs grabbing my next suitcase. Heaving and groaning with the old stairs. Clonk. Clonk. Clonk. Stair after stair after stair. I get to my flat then distribute it in the middle of the room.

Two down. About 5 more to go. at least I packed most of my stuff away for the movers to bring!

~~~~~~~~~~

I collapse on the hard wood floor. I have triumphed. Even though it took me like half an hour. I am done! I smile then spread my legs and arms over the cold floor. Oh my God this feels so good. Not moving. I hate moving.

I sit up running over to the piece of luggage with the pink ribbon on it. I toss it open. Revealing a cache of knick knacks and books. I pull out a pack of gum, a chocolate bar, and a worn copy of a wrinkle in time. I grab a pillow out of the blue ribbon suitcase then throw it at the wall letting it slide down then sitting down leaning against it.

It was a dark and stormy night...
