Hey everyone!! As you can see, I changed my layout. I hope you like it!! Sorry it's been so long since my last post! This is my latest short story I've written, and hope you will all enjoy it. Please feel free to comment and tell me what you thought or if you have some pointers. I am very open to anything you have to say!! Enjoy! It is long and very white. The ceiling is painted with detailed art and pictures of historical figures lines the corridor. Not a sound is heard but the ticking of an old grandfather clock; it stands like a great shadow in the corner at the end of the grand hall. The only other thing in the room are two plants. They stand strong in their crystal pots beneath two windows. They look as if they are trying their very best to escape from the stale atmosphere of the hall. There are very few windows, but somehow the hall is full of light. You take this all in with a single glance as you stand there for a moment more. Now there is one more sound in this empty, white room; your hollow footsteps sounding down the corridor. You do not look right nor left but straight ahead as you make your way to the ivory set of doors at the end of the hallway. You are now standing in front of them but still you hesitate to open them. You reach out and place a hand on the smooth surface of one of the doors. Your fingers gently trace the delicate carvings. You begin to see they tell a a story. A story told to you long, long ago. Memories come flooding back. Some sweet, some bitter. Ah, now you refuse to recall more. Your shaking hands find the handle and you pull with all your might. The door swings soundlessly open.

Thanks so much Celia! No there are no more character profiles. I was afraid when I posted anything I write, profiles of only one story would get confusing. I hope you understand.
