A spooky story for adults - full of secret passages!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dont-Look-Back ... oks&sr=1-2Adam ran his fingers over the dent, wondering if he could get
away with sanding and re-staining the wood. The panel shifted ever
so slightly at his touch and a breath of cool air tickled his hand. He
hovered his palm along the edge of the panel. “There’s a draught
coming through here.” He placed both hands on the panel and
pushed. It moved a few millimetres inwards. “I think this thing is
hinged.”
“Maybe it’s a door to a secret passageway,” Henry said excitedly.
Adam pushed harder. There was a squeak of wood rubbing wood,
followed by a whisper of escaping air. A slender gap appeared at
one edge of the panel, then the movement stopped. He leaned all
his weight against it, but it was almost as if someone was pushing
back against him. “I think there’s something blocking it.”
“I’ll help,” said Henry, shoving at the panel. It gave way with a
sudden creak and both he and Adam toppled through it. They landed
on their hands and knees, stirring up puffs of dust from a flagstone
floor.
Adam blinked and coughed.
“It is a secret passageway,” exclaimed Henry.
They were in a narrow brick passageway that ran parallel to the
room. A metre-and-a-half or so above them was a ceiling of rough
plaster and cobwebby beams. To the left wooden stairs rose steeply
into darkness. Adam shivered as a current of dank air caressed his
right cheek.
Henry jumped to his feet. “Let’s go exploring.”
Adam caught hold of him, fearing that his newfound courage might
cause him to race off into the darkness.
Ella peered into the passageway. “What was blocking the panel?”
“I think it was just stiff. Who knows how long it’s been since it was
last opened. We need matches.”
Ella hurried away to fetch them. Adam lit the candlesticks and held
out the candelabra. The flames swayed in the draught. Their flicker
revealed another set of stairs nine or ten metres to the right.
But even weirder... 1) going by the blurb on Amazon, this story is set post-1996, so why are they using candles instead of a battery-powered torch? And 2) unless they have so many candles that they need two or more multi-branched holders for them, shouldn't that be "candelabrum"??
