Moving around with her army-serving dad and making new friends in every new school she goes to. That’s Megan’s life. It seems boring but when she meets Laura, her life changes: Laura dresses different and never hangs out with someone. Megan tries to be her friend and eventually they come closer.
One day, Megan is at Laura’s house for the afternoon. Laura’s brother was also there. He immediately took Laura to the side where Megan could not hear them. Laura looked shocked but when Megan asked her what it was, she would not tell her.
After the next few weeks, Laura became a really good friend, though she acted like she was hiding something.
When Megan was at Laura’s house again, she showed her something that she would NEVER forget. Laura’s brother also came along. They went into a forest behind the far too big house and followed different tracks until Megan did not know where they were anymore. After a while they came to a clearing that made Megan gasp. Between the trees, well hidden was a door. Laura and her brother went straight toward it. They told her she was the first they ever told their secret: a hidden world.
When they were through the door, Megan could not believe it: there was sand everywhere, dunes, blazing sun and in the far distance a few houses and a castle.
How would you react if you had just stepped through a door the deapth of the forest and landed in the middle of sand dunes?
Example:
I would just stand there and look, amazed by what had happened. Then I would turn around and check if there was a door back to reality. I would then go through the door and go back into the real world. I would try again and again until I am sure it was only a dream.
Hmm. Is it true?
No. But what would you do if you were Megan?
