Got some time to write today :D Here is the intro to Book Three of the Trilogy tentatively called The Journey Home. __________________________________________ The Forest. It was a long hot summer. The world was fresh and lush and everyday was full of endless bright sunshine. The world was perfect and best of all not far from where I lived there was a little bit of Eden. I simply called it The Forest and it was my playground. The only barrier to this Paradise was a busy road, but my best friend Pawel who was two years older than me knew how to cross the road safely and so mum and dad trusted him. Pawel was my best friend, aged only eight he was already quite tall and strong. He was adventurous and brave too and loved nothing more than climbing trees and showing off. Sometimes he laughed and teased me because I wasn’t big or brave like him, nor could I reach the small branches and pull myself up into the higher bows of the trees. When he wasn’t in the trees we ran and laughed and when time came to go home we always promised to meet again the next day. And this is what we did every day in that endless summer, full of joy, fun and adventure, until one day we discovered that The Forest wasn’t Paradise, but the place of nightmares… And still, even after all these years, I have yet to wake up. __________________________________________ Does it entice you to read more (it will assume you have read the first two parts)?
