The Alien Artifact 7
recall the directions
anyhow!
    After he
recalled the next set of stairs he was sure he could find the
toilet somewhere! Yet the place was far larger than he had
estimated, as he had not properly seen it at the outside.
    Eventually he
found stairs, which looked as they were for the staff, and he
followed the instructions and turned left and he became worried
about being lost and ruining the night wandering around there, and
perhaps collapsing in a drunken mess and spending the night there,
and he lost his temper, and saw a distant figure like the usherette
away along a corridor and shouted at her calling her an old
hag.
    Eventually he
found his way back to the stairs, which he confirmed were the same
ones, and he followed her instructions and turned left but got lost
again and arrived at a dark place, just below the roof of the
building, and realized it was where the staff did the toilet and he
managed to relieve himself in complete darkness as he listened to
the audience roaring away in the distance below, and realized that
they were cheering a famous performer and rushed back to the
stairs, the show, and to his seat!
    When he arrived
back he was tired and breathless and could not believe that they
never had a proper toilet available.
    The others
hardly noticed him and seemed far more excited and louder than when
he had left, and he was disappointed at missing the action, and he
started asking them what had happened.
    “ You
missed the best bit!” Simpson announced, laughing cheerfully,
watching the now empty stage, imaging what had happened was still
there.
    Cameron finally
had to ask him what he had missed and sat wondering what could have
happened and if he should come back the next night to watch it.
    Simpson downed
his drink, and to his horror told him, “While you were away some
guy did the toilet all over the orchestra from somewhere up on the
roof!”

    The Treasure Hunt
     
    Cameron could
hardly believe the events of the past weeks as they were astounding
and the fact that they were once again on the trail of the treasure
and had returned to the well.
    The last shreds
of sunlight vanished beneath the wood, below the horizon, with a
deep black night engulfing them, and Cameron studied his
surroundings trying to see what he was doing in the darkness and
fitted the harness on, getting ready to go down the well, and a car
raced passed on Floors Road and its bright headlights illuminated
the whole wood and them, showing him how easy it was to see
them.
    The well had
been covered over with something else and the four of them had
uncovered it! It was now like they were doing something they should
not but all they were doing was climbing down an old well and
looking for something and he despised the darkness there as he was
sure a bad accident could occur. He had already had some accidents
there already!
    In the well the
darkness would be the same with the torches!
    Why did they
insist that there was something there? Why did they insist he had
been the main person that had thought there had been evidence? It
was an incredible situation! He was trying to argue that there was
nothing there and he had been the one they insisted had the
evidence and had convinced them that there was something buried
away there, and they still refused to say anything and back up what
had happened.
    The wood looked
different somehow, even though the darkness altered it greatly, and
he was sure someone had altered something else there for some
reason, but he was determined and it made little difference.
    He considered
their search for the lion and tried to search for it in the dark
landscape, realizing that lions did come out at night, and was
amazed that his senses started increasing, which he was sure was
his body gaining heightened awareness to the potential dangers, but
he started hearing and seeing things more powerfully than he had
ever done before, and could recall, even though he had lost a lot
of memory, and he saw a
