Into The Woods Day 24

This is a continuation from day 13, Forest where Toby was faced with a tree of shoes. . . . .


Into the woods where you will find safety from the Ground Dwellers

“The Ground Dwellers come.” Toby turned away from the shoe tree and looked up, seeing a rope bridge between two trees. Who could possibly use such a tiny bridge? As his eyes followed the bridge to the trunk he saw a small door and a tiny hand beckoning him to come. “Pick a pair of shoes. Quick”

“Why?”
“They will bring you up, save you from the Ground Dwellers. They approach. Quick!” Toby casually pulled at a pair of old boots.
He heard a continuous shrill.
Scrambling into the boots, Toby floated up, hoping what awaited him was far better than what was down there.

    1. It was a visit to a woodland park in Suffolk called Bewilderwood. I just loved all the little houses and am so pleased to be able to use them for a story prompt. xx

  2. Wow, love the photo's in your piece. Very clever that you've woven the two prompts together - I was fascinated by the shoe tree! I don't it's going to be scary, more magical x.

    1. I have been waiting to be in the right frame of mind to continue and yes, glad it's not scary but more magical. The pics were from a place in Suffolk called BewilderWood. It was a magical place and some lovely memories of when my son was a boy a few years ago. xxx
