SteamKid

Chapter 1

Waldon's My town, its full of rusty old robots and tall bronze statues , Mechanical animals and buildings that have been there since the birth of the town. The moment you step out of your door you hear the clanking of metal at blacksmiths all over the city, and the toots of the steam engines up on the old rusty railways. The air is fresh with the smell of copper and the sky is bright blue with pure white clouds...On good days.

There are several parts of the town, there is the Golden alley, where our Despicable prime minister and his supporters live, The Silverway, where the more upper class townsfolk occupy, there is also Bronze square, where markets and festivals are held, and then there is our Indie way, Where we live, and When I say we I mean me and my dad and all of the other Waldonions who struggle to make a living out of the city, but its not all bad, the views are pretty good, until the eye reaches the horizon, the wall. The wall, my old nemesis, taller than our highest building, and built from the strongest iron to either; keep us in, or keep something else out. no one has ever been past it, and although some have tried, they have never been seen again. Some people have theories about whats behind this barrier, but at school and at home I'm strictly taught to never listen to those people and if they go on about it I should report them, ha, I'm no snitch, and anyway I still listen and I have a few theories of my own, I just hope that one day I can prove all my teachers and my dad wrong, but that wont be for a long time. Did I mention how protective my dad is? He just won't stop going on about how I must never ever try to get past the wall- achieving the opposite and feeding my curiosity to find out More.

By the way Waldons huge. I'm just talking about the center, there's a whole country side too.My Grandmother lives in a part of the countryside called 'Yaama'. Its quite pretty really with its streams and lakes and...well the wall, there is no escape and its grey features ruin the horizon, but I'm not gonna find out whats behind the the wall if I stay normal.
