This is a stand alone freewrite, although it does follow on from "Jelly". To start at the beginning click here.
After thinking about it for a minute or two, Mike decided that having a good cry was probably the best option he had.
He didn't remember the last time he had cried (because he was very drunk, and he was on his knees in front of his girlfriend begging her not to leave his sorry drunken ass), but after ten minutes of solid blubbing he decided that it was something he should do more often.
He felt much better.
The canal seemed to stretch on forever. There was no end. Whoever "HIM" was, he was a bloody long way off.
As Mike peered into the distance he could see something hanging down. Hanging down from where he did not know, because he couldn't see a ceiling (remember?). As he neared it he realised it was a ladder.
He had a choice, at least.
He could stay in the gondola and take his chances with "HIM" or he could try to get on the ladder and find out what was up there. After careful thought he decided on option two.
He grabbed hold of the ladder as he passed under it and began to climb. For hours it seemed like. Just as he thought he might fall off in exhaustion, he arrived. In what looked like an attic. It reminded him of the attic in his grandparents house. Only much MUCH bigger...
