Talking Statues

The Inspection

Bob Richard Wilson was travelling down to Liverpool on a business trip to inspect the Walker Art Gallery. The Walker Art Gallery stood tall over Liverpool with many secrets to be discovered behind the humongous door that protected them all. The Art Gallery stored many great and wondrous pictures from many artists and times. Bob was to inspect this beautiful building and give it a rating (he was ready to give it a very high one).

He was travelling down from Birmingham where he was born and live now with his beautiful wife and soon to be born daughter. This was his last inspect away from Birmingham because he understood that he hadn't been there for his pregnant wife.

Bob paid the taxi driver. 'Be careful my friend.' said the taxi driver in a voice almost as if he was scared of the gallery and he drove away.

Bob stood at the bottom of the steps and looked up at the beast towering above him. He mounted the steps and strode into the gallery. The spiralling pillars twisted from floor to roof which was about 15 feet tall.

'Hello, you must be the inspector.' said a lady behind him 'I'm Mary Johnston you're guide for today.'

Bob greeted himself to Mary and she took him around all the art and gave him every last piece of information to squeeze out every little point she could get.

'Here is our famous statues that we are extremely proud of.' explained Mary as they entered the room.

Suddenly Bob heard voices that he couldn't tell where they were coming from because he didn't know. But Bob just ignored it and thought that he was going crazy because after all he

was nearing his mid-thirties.

'Ding, Ding!' chimed the clock to declare that it was twelve thirty and Bob's lunch break. He went the café where he ordered a ham sandwich and was kindly delivered a cup of steaming coffee by Mary but he could only take a few sips until he felt drowsy.

'Come on Bob, let's get going. There's one more thing you have to see.' said Mary.

Bob followed Mary to the back where he saw all of the art they were selling to the public. Suddenly Bob fell and he thought he was never going to wake up again.

But he did but not in a hospital as he was expecting to but in a cold, eerie black place. He had a fixed position and was holding something stone in his hand and an apple in his mouth which he couldn't get rid of because there was no space.

Suddenly Bob heard 'Hello this is our wonderful Statue Room where we have a new arrival.'
