TellersQuest: 5. Trapped

OFF: Five? Sure. Back up a step. Now comes the missing episode from before. Got a bit shaken up in the writing...

1. Wasn't my fault. For all the travelling I've done to other worlds, how could I know the pendant was goin' to flippin' well do that?

2. Thought I was lucky gettin' out. So much for guardian angels. I'm back in that Sally's flat. I'll get slaughtered if she catches me.

3. Auntie never told me the pendant could do that. She planned the trips, fixed targets 'nd packed me off washed and clothed for the job.

4. Beats me 'ow she knew where to go or who to meet. Never gave all that travellin' a thought. Just obeyed the sow 'nd went for the ride.

5. Might as well nose around a bit, see wot I can swipe before I scarper. Alway make the most of ill luck. True enough. Dunno who told me.

6. Mm! The bread n' cheese were great n' the fruit too. Shouldn't have drunk so much wine tho. Beginnin' to feel a bit blurred at the edges.

7. Neat taste in clothes that Sally. Bit big for me, though. Swipe it all the same, anything would be better than the togs the hag left me.

8. Green. Goes with me eyes. Bet they told her the same. Really weird we should look so alike. The old hag didn't warn me about that.

9. Hate washin' meself. But with all that runnin' warm water and the smelly soap, who'd refuse! And I gotta keep me new clothes clean.

10. Took a while figurin' out how to make the water run. Splashed all over. Wild! Blinkin' fun that was. Had a go at all the creams too.

11. Place's beginin' to look familiar. Reminds me of the mess in me attic. Whoops! Time to split. Hold on a sec! Where the hell am I to go?

Go back to Episode 6. Go on the Episode 7.
