The Other Brother

Chapter One

The Pink Palace Apartments,

Little Annie Wormwood was an ordinary child of about six years old. She lived with her Mother and father in an old house called the pink palace apartments. It was a very large place, and extremely fun to explore.

But even with the enormous house the child soon became quite bored. For children needed friends and the other people who lived around there were the other people who lived in the Pink Palace.

Miss Spink and Miss Forcible who lived in the cellar with there many dogs. Dead and alive who all greeted her with yips and slobbery kisses, the first time she visited with her parents. Well not the dead ones. That would have just been really creepy.

Annie liked them though, and the two ladies stories were simply fascinating. But there were times where she couldn't go down there. They were old and needed there rest. Or when her parents wouldn't let her go down there.

She also would visit the man who lived in what was the like the attic, only you accessed it from outside. Mr. Bobinskie would always ramble on stinky cheese and his famous jumping mouse circus. Annie rather thought Mr. B was completely Bonkers, but he was a sweet old man, and he always gave her jelly beans, which were her absolute favorite candy.

Then there was the black cat that (If she sat still with a bowl of milk next to her, he would rub up against her. She very much liked the cat but her mother was highly allergic to cats so she couldn't have one.

Her mother was technically only allergic to short cats. Which they had discovered after Susan wormwood had bent down to pet the cat and broke out in hives. It was impossible to know this would have happened as when Susan was a child she had cats by the name of Whiskers, Freckles, and Frisky. But they had all been fluffy and longhaired unlike the small black cat. Poor thing, you could see his ribs. But every once in a while Annie would find a bowl of milk set out on the porch. That made her smile
