Appropriately, it was on a chilly, grey afternoon in December that we first discovered the portal. In retrospect, it's surprising that it never occurred to us such a thing would be secreted amongst the back streets of a medium-sized Midlands city.
For now, the site remains under surveillance. As yet, we have observed no one either enter or exit the doorway. One day, perhaps - when courage allows, we will knock on the door and request admittance to the parallel, cartoon dimension which undoubtedly lies beyond.
Certain important question remain - to which, so far, our researches have suggested no answers:
- What is the extent of this other world, and where do its further boundaries lie?
- Having crossed the threshold, - might the intrepid explorer ever return to this 'reality'?
- Were that possible, and having completed the transformation into polychromatic, 2D form - would we actually desire a return to our original state?
There may indeed, be only one way to discover the answers.
Ah, fantastic. Please do tell if you find out any more about what lurks the other side of that eye-catching portal!
ReplyDeleteSmashing, isn't it? Being of 'a certain vintage', I guess I can't help thinking of The Beatles' 'Pepperland', as well as classic children's TV. 'Mr, Benn' and the opening titles of 'Rainbow' spring particularly to mind, for obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteLove the way just a bit of high-coloured magic seems to be leaking through into this world. It is, of course, important to combat current reality, whenever the opportunity arises.
