the lost way 26

“Now my dark castles
Walk in and enjoy your life”
The group stands at the door
Fear gripping into their lives

“Is this the final chapter?”
We never know unless we open the door
Maybe it is just a trick to make us fall
We mustn't give up just someone's story”

One of them pushes the door
The creaking sound travels into the night
On the wall the candles light.....
On the table fruits and water

The living room large with sofa chairs
A coffee table lays at the center
Book cases on every corner.....
Books of many titles on any subject

They pour drinks
Gulp it down quickly
They are very thirsty
They are very hungry

Then they survey the rooms
There are 12 rooms for each of them
“Why so exact?
Don't you feel something fishy here?”

“We had travelled many hours
We haven't got our proper meals
And you feel something fishy?
We are lucky to find this castle”

Then they stare at the fire place
It seems to light it up by itself
“Now you know something fishy...
The whole I guess it is!”

“12 rooms 12 of us
In this dark forest we hardly know
Now we are trapped....
There is no window to escape”
