I wake up as rays of sunshine burst into my room, nearly blinding me. I gaze out my window, as I think about what lies ahead.
As I lay here, the sky darkens and the wind picks up. I watch as the weather starts to change and in a matter of seconds, it looks like a maelstrom has ripped through our garden, including our shed and the ancient ladder attached to its side.
The shed looks like a giant from above has torn it to shreds. I rush out of the door, curious to know what other damage this monster of a storm has caused.
I come to a stop as I get closer because my eyes have just seen that the ancient ladder now stretches beyond the sky.
My mind starts to wonder…why is this here and where does it lead to? My Dad had always been sceptical about unusual and unique things but now that I am all alone, I make my own decisions. I take one last glance at the tower-like ladder and I prepare myself for an adventure.
I have always been the odd one out and the loser. People just don’t understand that I am more than a shy kid that sits at the back of the class. I want to explore things and this is my opportunity.
With a big deep breath, I take my first steps into the unknown and I won’t come back until I can prove that I am an adventurer that can achieve the impossible.
