Another Staircase


Curious, and nosy (it must be said) I pulled back the heavy curtains in the corner of the room. What made me want to look behind them remains a mystery, but I’m glad that I did.

There was a staircase.

It didn’t seem to fit with the layout of the room, but there it was. I climbed.

At the top of the stairs was a door – an unlocked door.

I pushed the door open, and entered a room. On my left, there was a window covered by an old net curtain. On my right was another door; another staircase.

    Amazing what you can find behind a curtain Tom.. like one of those never ending mirror effects that go on and on….
    Hope you having a Good Friday…… Wishing you a great weekend.. at least we have ‘Rain’ instead of snow today 🙂

      I like that never ending mirror effect… but it does have a strange feel to it!

    A beautiful staircase might lead to unexpected treasure, pleasures or terror of the Stephen King kind. So…what did you find, Tom?

    I like unlocked doors, Sir Aquatom, and mysterious ones are the best, I can’t stand the suspense of wondering what’s behind a locked door…BUT another staircase?… (who cleans?) xPenx

    I’m waiting for a tub of hair gel to appear at the top of one of these flights of stairs! In a very unexplained fashion of course for no obvious or apparant reason…just there…gelling… 😉 And the mansion being what it is…assuming we are in fact in the mansion and not in a parallel mansionaic universe…lol…there will probably be a large and inexplicably clean and freshly folded bath towel laid neatly out behind one of those doors…hanging bright and shiny over a bannister on the stairs…if there is in fact a bannister and it’s not actually the sides of a bath tub adorned with the metal things you can use to haul yourself out of the bath tub with!! But it is that and hauling on them opens the door to a bathroom of mirrors!! (for the purpose of …who knows what??…the arranging of hair gel on the wild and staticky hair?!! lol 😉 Well…just thinking that’s all! Probably best if I don’t?!! lol 😀
