I woke up to the train rattiling of the train.I had snuck onto the back carrigie of the train heading to Venice.Life wasnt easy in 1814.The trains brakes scream as the train starts to pull to a grinding halt.Pulling my hood up and over my head and jumping onto the platform.I regain my balance and check my surroundings.My heart leapt when I saw the buildings my mother was right Venice is beautifel.I start walking to the exit,looking over my shoulder every two to three minutes,I see a building that looks easy enough and take off up the side like a spider,I pull myself up onto the roof and start running.Jumping over onto the next building and looking down into the alley below, I see the peeling sign of a cinema called the star palace with the letter A peeling off.The door was locked so the only way in was round the back,I walk to the side of the building and realise there is no ally between the next building and the star palace so I climed on top to see if there was a ventilation system.There wasnt one of them either.I drop down the back of the building to find a metal door with a lock and a key in the door,I push the door open to find pitch darkness I reach into my paratrooper bag and rummaged around for my flashlight,I pull it out of my bag and click it on,The first thing I see is a massive black curtainI pull it across a little bit and slip through.I flash it around taking in my surroundings.I am looking at hundreds upon hundreds of soft red seats I put my bag down and look for something to sleep on,I find a double couch two rows from the screen,I collect my bag from the stage and lie down,I drift into a deep sleep to find sunshine on my face
