The Key to the Upside down
This week my class had the task of creating a story around a key , The first thing we did was choose a key from a jar and then we had to draw what it unlocked , It could be anything from a car to a theme park . I chose an abandoned Asylum , Then next thing we did was chose and described our characters , Then we did the same with our setting . After that we had to come up with a solution and a problem . Then we began writing our stories . When doing this I enjoyed letting my imagination go wild , Next time I will try to add more complex punctuation . I think I added in lots of information to ensure the reader had a picture in his/her mind I think I did this well . I like this piece of writing because there is a lot of suspense and the opening sentence hooks the reader in .

My life has all changed because of one significant event that happened about five decades ago . I now sit here in this empty hospital room . Thinking about how it all started … It was the summer of 1954 and I was a young girl , We suddenly had to move away from our house in the country . To live in what looked like a dump ! , it was a hotel with Vines and cobwebs all on the outside which made it look like it was abandoned , but once I stepped inside it was the most elegant , fanciest place I have ever been . It was silk and velvet from wall to wall with the most superb light fixtures , it was the most stunning place on planet earth to me , But I knew it had a secret . I had no idea why we had to move but I was fine with it , There wasn’t much people here only two other families , The Penfolds and The Dobsons . The Pennfolds were an unusual family they never came out of their room and all we could hear was howling and noises all day and night , the Dobsons however never went into their room and they were practically mute . They would walk the halls with no expression on their face just going up and down the stairs in the east wing .I had no knowledge of what was happening but now I know . Once we got settled in I went to explore and I came across what looked like an old shed but I couldn’t get in . It was locked! I decided to make a mission for myself. My mission was to find out what was inside . I started looking for a key . In the light fixtures and in the bedrooms . But I couldn’t find one drop of evidence or one clue , my next stop was the gift shop , they had keys . I bought every single one and tried them but none of them worked . I forgot about it after a couple of weeks until my Seventh birthday which is when my mother came through with a surprise . She gave me a key and said “ Valerina Harper find what this unlocks “ . I sprinted away and into the backyard to where the shed looking building was , I tried the key and it worked ! . From outside it the shed looked like a hospital , but once I stepped inside it all changed . Suddenly it all went black and I took another step and found myself in the hospital , but it seemed different . It was colder and darker and the lights kept flickering . It was like everything was the opposite , or everything was upside down ?< I walked in more and everything was flicking between real life and the upside down . I saw two figures coming towards me , I want to bolt but I can’t seem to move. I look over and they are only teenagers , so I stand my ground and close my eyes . Once i open them they are at my feet like dogs . I ask them their names and they Bark , it’s almost as if someone or something has trained them to be like dogs . I close my eyes again , and once I open them they are now lying on the floor acting like Lizards . I keep opening and closing my eyes hoping they will turn human again . Pig . Cat . Monkey . Rabbit . no human , I try to talk to them to ask their name but it seems like they are inaudible , but they keep tapping . I know I can’t figure this out alone so I go and get the only normal people from the hotel , Nancy Dobson a Nine year old girl who is an absolute Brainiac and Amelia Pennfold she’s as dainty as a fairy but she can write and she is one of the most caring people I know . We go into the hospital / shed together and they’re still tapping , we ask them questions and they tap , I suddenly blurt out “what if they’re communicating through Tapping not talking ?” Then Nancy says “Quick Amelia write this down !” Tap , Pause , dash , Tap , Pause . Its Morse code Amelia says . They get a morse code pamphlet from the front desk and begin to write things down . The Girl said (through morse code ) “ MY NAME IS ALYSSA , PLEASE HELP ME I CAN’T GET OUT “ The boy said “ WE ARE TRAPPED IN THE UPSIDE DOWN , I CAN’T GET OUT I CAN’T I CAN’T ! .Everyday Amelia , Nancy and I go to the shed and talk to them , One day they are human and we can’t believe it , That was the day everything became good . I remember it as if it was yesterday , I was wearing a Bright yellow flowery dress with daisies on it and a white cardigan with black shoes and white stockings . Amelia was wearing a red dress with polka dots and a red cardigan . Nancy was wearing a white blouse with ruffles going up the front , with black pants and she had her hair up in a ponytail with a red ribbon . We went into the shed as usual and they began talking we earned their trust over the past couple of months and we finally understand , These people aren’t Trapped in the upside down they are trapped in their minds and they have the power to project their minds into real life . Which is why I can see them , we help them to get out of their heads and we end up adopting them , they still have powers but they use them for good .hey told us about why they were in the shed and why everything was weird , They were in an insane asylum that became abandoned because they were causing trouble , The families that lived there were not actually there and neither was the hotel , they just convinced our minds that they were there . Nancy and Amelia were make believe but they acted like humans . Now I sit in my hospital bed thinking my life is a lie , but now I have my mother by my side , and my two siblings ; Marcus and Alyssa .
