Fiction Passage As the children ambled back from the nearby village shop, snacks in hand, out from the narrow alleyway, popped a wiry figure on the oldest bicycle they had ever laid their eyes upon, He sported equally antiquated broad brimmed hat and clothes pasted with mud from trousers to shirt. 5 “Haven't seen the likes of you three here before,” he noted with some curiosity in his surprisingly robust voice. Amanda tumed toward her brother Kevin and their cousin, Lyndon. Kevin, not wanting to be rude, responded, “We're staying with our grandparents.” “And who is them?” he asked, his voice becoming even more interested. “Grandpa Jerome and granma...” was all Amanda could add before he interrupted, “Oh, on the Sandstone Estate! 10 I know your grandparents good, good. We is friends from long long time, yuh know. Plenty place to run and hide, hill to climb, river to swim but be careful by the old well, allyuh hear.” The children’s eyes lit up as they strolled back. “What well?” they mused. The next day, aftera breakfast of zaboca choka and roti and freshly squeezed orange juice, they decided to continue exploring the estate. They had been to the crystal clear pool in the stream and rode 15 through a narrow path round the estate but they hadn’t noticed any well. Their grandmother, Rose, was very protective and did not approve of them wandering away from the house. Because of that, they did not mention the well at dinner. Thankfully Grandpa Jerome would let them be despite Rose’s rambling and this only encouraged them. Because they knew the footpath which they biked regularly, they 20 looked out for any hidden paths they could explore. When Kevin noticed one hidden in the undergrowth, they cut a way through but had to leave the bicycles behind. The boys grabbed their knapsacks and began the trek. Unbelievably, after some twists and turns, they encountered some rusted barrels and some wooden spars almost rotted through. Just ahead and to the left, covered in heavy moss, was the cylindrical outline. “The well!” Some of its 25. solid red brick material had come loose and peering in, it looked dark and dingy and unwelcoming. Proudly, Lyndon whipped out has trusty flashlight and some rope. The beam revealed a depth of about 6 metres congested with broken spars and more red bricks. “It looks dry,” squealed Amanda, her low echo returning. The children, trembling with excitement lowered the rope and Kevin clambered down, the flashlight clenched within his teeth. Looking 30 up and around, about 2 metres up, an opening in the well wall watched his every move. He lunged upward and clung on and struggled to pull himself up and into it. A horizontal tunnel wide enough for a child to crawl through led away. Amanda and Lyndon stood mesmerized as he disappeared like a ghost into the shadows. EduscapeCaribbean.
