Continuing from Yesterday’s story…
Groggily, Kelsey opened her eyes. “Where am I?” She looked up and gasped. Above her were levels and levels of wooden stairs and railings.
She felt like she had fallen into Harry Potter’s universe, into Hogwarts. “Grandma?” She shouted. There was no answer. Of course not, she thought, jumped, and grabbed the wooden railing to hoist herself onto the level above.
Looking up, down, left, and right, Kelsey searched for a staircase leading to the next level. After a moment, she finally caught a hint of a staircase at the end of the corridor.
