JUMP..higher higher higher ....come here, no no no not that way , roll over here. Yes yes under the bookshelf, quick quick quick , before he grabs you. Ah! Finally , this is a safe place . He won’t be able to find us here .Phew! We finally managed to free ourselves from that painful life. We are now free to move around at our own wish.

You know how I detested that wretched , old tattered dusty box that boy kept us in . I swear it really ain’t any game living a life of a ludo board coin. Anyway Bluebond now our days of struggle are over . We are no longer slaves to any board game or any rolling dices.

Do you remember last christmas time on that chilly winter eveing how that kid shrieked out of joy after he won that stupid game and had almost swallowed me down his throat , had it not been for his mother to come to my rescue. Ah! Yes of course I remember that Greenwhirl. I was so petrified to see that brat almost gulp you down his throat that i almost fainted and fell from that table, and it was then that I discovered this secret place for us. This untouched , unlooked , undiscovered corner of this giant house.

It is just too perfect for us over here. Away from any kind of torture Away from human eyes and touch. This is our our corner , our territory and no one but only our rules are followed and obeyed here. We rule this space and any human trespasser will be prosecuted!!! J

Achoo! Oh my gosh!!! This place is so dusty and creepy with all these cobwebs and these insects crawling here and there. The other day, a mouse almost nibbled on my back. How can they ignore this part of the house?? Are they blind ?? Don’t they know this area also needs to be cleaned and taken care of . I think we were better of in that battered ludo box.At least we were wanted there and made sure that we were safe and secure. Here no one even gives us a second glance. No one even misses us.... this place is no longer nice and charming as it used to be . It is now jinxed by our own words . It would have been great if we had a human soul ‘trespass’ this unseen territory ! L
