The Door

Chapter 13

We stepped outside and glanced forward. Every building was connected together like a huge mini mall.

The trees looked J.D.-sized with red stuff on them. I went over to one to take a closer look. They looked like red berries, but I was nervous to eat them if they were poisonous.

"Oh! Look!" J.D. yelled while pointing to a weird looking bus with no door or windows. "A trolley! Can we ride in it? Please?"

Dwayne quickly said, "I would love to."

"Sure." I said while following my brothers to the trolley.

"Welcome aboard." The bus driver politely greeted. The trolley drove smoothly down the sandy-like road. We saw a building that looked really old and cool. Next we saw a small building that said The Portal Company. I looked at the closed door that had a sign on it. I really hope they'll get back soon.

"I'm hungry." J.D. moaned while slouching in his seat.

"Okay," Dwayne said, "we can try and find a restaurant or some sort."

"Oh, how about that place?" I pointed to a restaurant that had the spaghetti picture on the sign.

"Eh, not in the mood for pasta." Dwayne said.

"Hey," I said while realizing, "don't we have to pay for the food around here?"

"Oh yeah," Dwayne said, "maybe we'll have to wait till we get back to Lucille's." He turned to J.D. who made a grumpy face at us.

The trolley stopped at the bus stop we were when we first got on here. Maybe we were going in a circle. I thought to myself. We decided to head back to the house so that way J.D. doesn't have a meltdown.

We opened the front door and went to the kitchen where Lucille was setting three plates down. "Oh, you boys were just in time for some ham and turkey sandwiches."

I'm pretty sure J.D. is happy about that.
