The Life and Lies of Emery Snape
CHAPTER ONE
The sunlight shines through the light curtaining and illuminates the large bed in the middle of the room. A groan emanates from the deep dark warmth under the covers, an ebony head of hair pops up from the abyss and a pale face follows. Two pale hands with long feminine fingers pulls the heavy blue dooner back, and out pops a long lean body. What can be now identified as a woman, sits up, yawns, stretches and pushes her hair away from her face while blinking rapidly to get the last caress of sleep away from her consciousness. She slips her feet into fluffy cream slippers, stands up and stretches once more.
Walking across the expansive room she takes stock of her surroundings which includes a large silver mirror that hangs on the wall, over a modestly sized, dark wood cupboard and across the room sits a cream coloured desk that houses a blue laptop. She walks to a red door and stops; she pulls from a hook next to the door a blue silk dressing gown. She ties the robe closed, steps forward and places a hand on the crystal door knob, turns it and opens the door to a hallway.
She steps out into the hallway and walks down to the end, turns left and walks down another. She reaches the end and pulls open another door. She walks through and takes a few steps to a grand staircase. She walks down the staircase, her hand loosely gripping the railing and sliding down as she goes. She stops as she reaches the bottom, turns left and walks through an archway to the kitchen.
The kitchen is sunny, painted a warm creamy yellow. She walks past an island counter, to the fridge. She places her hand on the fridges handle and pulls. From the fridge she takes a carton of milk and a small bottle of orange juice. She closes the fridge and places the items on the island counter. She walks to the pantry in the corner of the room and pulls open the door, reaches in and grabs a box of nutrigrain.
She sits on the plush bar stools and is eating her meal when a thought pops into her head. I wonder if I should visit my brother today.
