• ***
• Floda:
• As the months rolled away, Nora wishes to see and hear everything that is going on around her, especially Philip; she got to know his name through Braille, when Philip wrote it out for her. She wish she could tell him how nice he was and how she loved his food. She was scared to write out her thoughts, how could she write something she couldn't see. Everyday she woke up hoping to see the world like she once did but every time she was disappointed.
• With each day that passes, Nora and Philip become close.
• One stormy night, Nora was trying to make out some words with her Braille book when she felt it.
• She shrugged her shoulder and continued her reading, she felt it once again as if someone or something was calling out to her. She had mastered the whole house and sometimes wandered around the house on her own, sometimes with Philip.
• Nora got down from her bed and found herself bending down beside her bed. As if she was being controlled by something she pushed her bed to one side of the room, with her two hands she feel around the floor and her left hand caught something. Touching it carefully she noticed it was like a door handle. Nora found herself pushing it, it gave a quiet squeaked as it gave way, revealing an ancient staircase. She touched around and felt the staircase.
• Nora tried to stop herself from going down but couldn't, she wanted to scream but remembered she couldn't.
• Why was her body not obeying her? Did her grandmother not know about this secret door in her room when she brought the house?
• So many questions ran through her mind that were left unanswered. She closes her eyes and walks down the stairs.
• When she felt her feet touch the ground, she opened her eyes and got the shock of her life.
• She could see.
• She closed her eyes and opened it again, she could still see.
• She tried to say something and heard her voice, she could also talk.
• She turned back and looked around her and saw herself in a garden, she saw the staircase she had walked on staying in the middle of the garden. She quickly climbed the staircase as soon as her feet touched the staircase on her third stride, she couldn't see nor talk.
• Her body automatically turned back and she found her feet touching the ground once again.
• As soon as her feet touched the ground, she could see.
• She took her time and looked around the garden, this time, she noticed that this wasn't a mere garden.
