 Holes I hate them,you never know where one is ........

I was then too  hiking through woods nearby near our city one day,it was a Saturday, and I wanted to be alone too as well. As I was hiking my watched went  off it was suppose to do that when I was about too eat .It was lunch . I found a rock to lean against to it,more like a small boulder near a tree , I reached for mt backpack and set it down by me, taking a deep breath I reached for a bottle of water then ,but my backpack was gone .

it vanished through a hole by the boulder then too . I saw my backpack fell through a hole I tried reaching it but it was too gone far. As I then  reached for it for it I leaned over too much and I fell in too ,I then  looked up and couldn't believe what I just did, ' Idiot,' I told myself .But now at least I knew where my backpack was going,wherever it was I wouldn't be too far behind,usually holes were cold and damp,not this one,as I fell this hole in fact got warmer as I fell. 

I then  remembered reading Alice in Wonderland and cursed out loud and I hope when I landed it would not be like that at all. This hole then  was deep and dark and we were falling for some time yet as I fell I rather felt then too surprisingly  safe to say the least . 
 

Now then my backpack had landed ,then it was my turn then, my butt landed right next to it, suddenly then too  I said only one word,' Ouch.' and my butt,knowing it would hurt for awhile,or as long as I was sitting .The feel it was indeed hotter down here now as I got to my feet .

As I then look around I wonder where I was .It was then  kinda cold still, but not needing any heavy clothing or nothing like that . I then saw that I landed in what looked like a tunnel of some sort, grabbing my backpack I then started down it not notice at first that I was being watched as I walked down the tunnel. 
 

It was then dimly lit by candles along the way, I then  didn't see no torches at all, then the more I continued walking the more I saw light at the end of the tunnel. I then reached for my backpack and pulled out a knife it wasn't much but I had to show I then  was not afraid of anything .Then as I started to leave the tunnel I stopped inside the entrance of the tunnel, suddenly I heard voices .
 

Looking around I saw then I came out of a subway like system onto a city street I couldn't tell which city I was in,then the  buildings were not familiar, street cars were different too, and the people wore fancy clothes compared to my clothes in fact they were fancy ,now to find out what city this was . 
 

A citizen then passed by me as I started exploring the city,he looked at me and I return the glance but we did not talk or speak to each other,my mind was focussed on the city and where I was,

I was determined to find out too .

I knew then instinctively that I should just turn around and re enter the tunnel but my own curiousity got the better of me so I kept exploring the city .

People then  walked the streets as to and fro then about their business,I unlike a few people I then  knew were always nosy and never minded their own business me Ithen too  had discovered once you start being nosy you would lose some sort of important body part,a finger perhaps or something more important that you depend on ,so then to naturally I always,almost,that is,minded my business .Though I was still young fifteen to be exact, I always thought I had learned life's lessons more then most have their entire lives .

Oh so I thought I did .

As I then too  started to explore this new city I found myself in something had troubled me about it ,something then had  told then me it was too clean,to sterile as it were,streets had no litter or trash like home did,people then too yelling or fighting yet something here was out of place,not right . 

But how could people being happy being not right ?

As I then  exlpored,even found a place to live in the city I then  became a member of the city itself,but I then too learned then too one thing,there was one catch in being happy here all the time,you could never then show any sign that your then too angry,sad,mad, lonely,or any negative expressions at all .Because I then saw one man who showed emotion toward his wife having an affair and a strange vehicle or van like truck showed up,men got out and grabbed the man and place him into the van,they drove off and the man was never seen again while his wife just stood there smiling at him . 
 
His wife and her lover then should had been punished not the husband I guess here the rule was: You sinned you can be happy and free those that then discovered they been sinned but don't act according get punished and taking away ,to where,no one ever knew .I stayed long then  enough too see what the city was about ,why then people behave the way they did, I never like anything unfinished ,even when I read a book I never put it down till I was done or job around the house was never half completed,it was always done . I was then fifteen I had a long life before me I could stay here awhile to just satify my own curiousity . The city was a beautiful one don't get me wrong,everything was so easy, luxuries at your fingertips. I just every city had it's drawbacks ,more then some I might say .


  I remember being in New York once their then drawback was too many people,in Chicago their drawback was bad transportation system, each then  city or town had something good about them, but come with the good there was the inevitable bad that came with it .So then what was the secret of this city ? I was going to frind out, I had plenty of time, this was why I venture into those woods near my home to find an adventure or two, I had then promised myself I would not end up like the rest of my friends wanting to take it easy and let life passed by or in fact take an easy job and not do nothing at all . 
 

Then the Honi as she was called was looking out of her expansive room the hotel gave her as she stood watching the people below her . She had seen me as I was about to cross the city's main street .  

And I just so happened too then looked too  up at the hotel and at the highest window possible where the Honi then was looking out of and then I then had  thought I smile,doubtful then that to  though anyone that high up can actually see me at all .Apparently she did.

Now as then  I understand it the Honi here is as important as the President of our United States back home,she then  has power and money and whatever she ask for no one argued with her . And then  the other thing that was her strong suit was her age as well as being beautiful. She then  was only twenty three .

The Honi was not her real name either no one knew what that was .

And then  anyone that ever said no too her regretted it , She then had stood there by the window her mind racing with thoghts that no one else then too  would think of, her intelligence to even surprassed that of the most smartest person there was here . .Then the  Honi watched me because as later as I had discover she wanted to become more then what she was,she had no family line outside of herself she then wanted to have children a family even . She wanted someone to continue her family that was why she was watching me

Then the  Honi knew everything,it had power knowledge and wealth beyond those that did, Instead of earning everything she had she was born into it .I then  did not know why she chose me but it seems mating or making love did in fact not come easy to the Honi ,no matter how beautiful she was . I guessed the men here did not appreciate a woman that had beautiful,class, and was smart too. I guess then the men here were the same as the men were back home,.they didn't know they had a good thing until it was right under their own noses .
