Whispers and Echoes

The crash was deafening.  Sitting bolt upright, my head pounded in that unique way it does when you’ve woken too quickly from a deep sleep, leaving you disoriented.

The noise came again, suddenly in the silence.  I fell out of bed.  Stumbling to my feet, half-blind with confusion, I opened my bedroom door to be greeted by the strangest sight.  A little man, with very big ears, hands and feet.

‘Sorry.  Took a wrong turn.  The door closed behind me.  Looks like I’m stuck here.’

‘Door?’

‘Portal.  You know.  Looks like I’ll be staying for a while.’
