Out of the Bathroom and into Middle-Earth
On a cool February night, dusk had settled. The house was alit, but too quiet for my taste. Strange things had a tendency to happen on those kinds of nights. These nights were filled with magic, but only when you did not want it be there.
I had been almost alone that night. My sister was out with her friends at some movie, and mom still working late. So, the only one there was Scotty. Scotty, my dog, seemed restless, and anxious for my mom to come home. But most of all I was bored out of my skull.
As an avid LOTR obsessy, I had always found that watching any of the Lord of the Rings movies was always entertaining. After I had finished my dinner, I popped the Fellowship of the Ring movie into the DVD player and pressed play.
The title page had just pulled up, and Galadriel had just started talking. Then all of a sudden, I had the urge to go and wash my hands and comb my hair. "It's 6:30 at night," I thought. "Where on Earth did this thought come from!"
Despite the complete weirdness of it all, I acted upon the urge and walked down my long hallway. I of course, washed my hands and combed my hair (Blah blah blah). Then as I turned to leave the bathroom, I noticed the knob was shaking. The ground around me was completely still, and yet the knob shook like the Earth was collapsing around me.
Then the ground shook furiously like a 5.4 earthquake. The contents of my medicine cabinet started to spill on the floor and I was forced to get down on the ground and cover my head.
There had never been an earthquake in my town since I can remember. Maybe even before I was born, there had never been an earthquake. They weren't exactly plentiful in the desert. So being caught in an earthquake in my bathroom was strange enough. But of course, things had to get so much weirder and much worse.
The ground underneath me started to crack. The tile was breaking and I could do nothing about it. The floor started to split right down the middle below me. I sat mesmerized (while covering my head) almost waiting for the inevitable to happen.
Aaaaannnnnnnnnnnddddddd. . .cliff hanger! You must read the next chapter to find out What happens to me. . .I'm so mean aren't I?
Read and review. It's my first little fic. Be nice to me. Not insulting criticism, but constructive. If you find spelling errors or if something doesn't make sense. Please tell me. I appreciate it. But if you really thought it was funny. Those are good too!
