The Unexpected - Original Writing

The full moon gives the only light in the otherwise dark summer night.

The weather is warm with a cool soothing breeze, rocking the trees in

a timeless motion back and forth. The Stockholm suburbs are dark and

so quiet that if a hare would run across the street you would hear

him. The neighbourhood cats sit in the dark corners of the gardens,

quietly, motionlessly, listening for any movements, waiting for any

possible prey to attack. The main road is large and is the only

connection to the city. It passes through the neighbourhood and leads

to the only castle in the area. The road was made especially for that

castle after a lot of argumentation by the people living there. The

castles huge rear is always giving you the impression of royalty and

mystery; it was old and was once built by a queen, who built it with

many secret passages so it would be easy for her to escape, because

she was afraid of being killed. It gave the neighbourhood its timeless

accord.

The high music was the only thing interrupting the peaceful harmony in

the neighbourhood. The cats escaped it to the gardens further down the

road. The houses were dark and empty; no one could miss the party. The

music came from the castle garden where the smell of beer from the

bar, mixed together with the smell of grilled meat and music to give

the neighbourhood a different atmosphere. The dance floor was crowded

with people trying to dance, and the bar was filled with people

drinking and chatting but still no one could take their eyes of her.

She was the owner of the castle. She was the only inheritor of the

castle which meant that her ancestors were royalty. Her face was firm

with a childish look to it, making it impossible for anyone to

determine her age. She had a small mouth with naturally red lips which

contrasted with her perfectly lined white teeth, which were revealed

whenever she smiled.
