Running away

I slowly opened my eyes bit after bit. I crept down the hall remembering to stop at the bathroom to have a shower. I clambered down the stairs making sure that I avoided all the old creaky steps that would wake the rest of my family. I shone my torch straight at our old grandfather clock, it was midnight! I opened the door ever so slightly, was I ready to take this chance? Suddenly I found myself stepping outside into the cold blackness of the night. I was on my way, I was beginning a new better and brighter life.
