I didn't find anything when I went looking. The only thing I found was an old tennis ball that was wet from being in the grass all night. Then Chase and Gavin asked me what I was doing and I told them and they said that only sissies believed in fairies and that the fairies would probably eat me. They said they would tell the other kids and they did.
I was walking home from school and I saw that mark with the four lines. It was scratched into a rock, the big rock that the sidewalk curves around, where the woods come right up to the edge of the sidewalk. There is a ditch on the other side of the rock. I climbed down into the ditch and saw that in the shadow of the rock there was a ring in the grass. The shadow made the ring look dark, like a hole. It looked like it was just a shadow, but I knew it had to be a tunnel, so I crawled into it and I was right.
The tunnel was long and winding, and really, really dark. I had my backpack with all of my school books, and a flashlight. I got out the flashlight. It made the tunnel really bright, because the walls were sparkly. The end of the tunnel was around one of the bends and was covered with a piece of cloth. I pushed aside the cloth and I was in a big room. There were bowls with fire in them on the wall, so I turned off my flashlight.
The room had big barrels in it, and was kind of boring, so I went to the door and pushed it open. I was careful to look out first before I went through it, because you never know what might see you. There was an even bigger room there, with a big fire in the middle, and a lot of tables that were my size and a lot of chairs that were my size and a lot of people that were my size. The people were very ugly, but I don't think they knew that.
All of the people were singing. Their song went "Monday Tuesday". Those were the only words. They kept singing them. "Monday Tuesday, Monday Tuesday." I liked the song. Some of them were dancing and kicking their legs and spinning around. "Monday Tuesday," they all said. They clapped for some of the time, but most of the time they just sang "Monday Tuesday."
I sang too. "Monday Tuesday, Monday Tuesday." They didn't see me until I came out into the middle of the room. They were very ugly and the same size as me and they all looked at me and kept on singing. I sang "Monday Tuesday" and they sang "Monday Tuesday" and then I sang "And Wednesday too," and it got really quiet and they all looked at me and I thought they were going to eat me.
I will post more later, so you will be able to know that I got back alright and don't need to worry about me.
