The peace and quiet was bliss, but short lived!
Hearing a loud happy shriek, then a thump!
He got up from his chair, entering
the forbidden zone. Sam's bedroom.
Daniel shook his head, seeing
the 14 year old sitting in a heap on
her bedroom floor with a red
pen in her hand. A bedroom that was in
the stages of redecoration!
The wallpaper scattered on the floor.
There was a stool half
propped up against the wall, as though it had
been knocked
over.
Daniel looked at Sam who was smiling at him as she
scratched her sore
head. Her now long blonde hair under her finger
tips.
"What have you done?" he asked.
"I
slipped on the stool when I was reaching the top of the wall. I
must
have banged my head." Sam said.
His direction turned to
look at the wall behind him. Daniel knew that
Sam was going to
redecorate her room. Something befitting a 14 year
old and not a
middle-aged archaeologist! Daniel was expecting pop
group posters
etc. But he wasn't expecting what he saw.
On the wall, neatly
written out in marker pen was what looked like
Sam's theory on
spinwave technology and the effects of anti-gravity
on
electromagnetism.
"You like?" she asked, her face
beaming with teenage astrophysicist
pride.
