Ready Or Not

  • Marvin Serwanga

“Ready or not, here I come!” shouts Malcolm. Malcolm bursts into his mother’s bedroom, searching for his little brother Tobi. Tobi hiding in the wardrobe, stays completely still. Malcolm scans the room quickly and notices his mother’s standing wardrobe and smiles. He opens the wardrobe door. “Gotcha!” says Malcolm. Malcolm suddenly falls through the wardrobe, landing in the dust. His brother stands next to him, he’s staring at something. In front of them stands a twenty-foot gate, with a swirling portal in its centre. They are surrounded by desert sand that stretches on for what seems like an eternity. “Where are we?” asks Tobi. “I don’t know,” says Malcolm.
