I've been sitting here, reading and re-reading this story as it brought back a terrifying memory from my childhood that involved a cellar door, something I had not thought about in years.<br /><br />Had I stepped through that door of so many years ago, only darkness and misery would have been waiting on the other side. Sometimes, even as children, we make the right choices.<br /><br />Well done!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983686239033756332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565386894395739369.post-11774277530814410992013-04-04T20:54:40.526+01:002013-04-04T20:54:40.526+01:00The house above- that's what really sold it. ...The house above- that's what really sold it.
