Roy was having a normal Wednesday. He went on the tube to Blackfriars station from South Kensington. He then went to his office block and started working away on his computer. It was at 12:26 when his phone rang. It was his dad calling about his mum. His mum has fallen ill and doctors don’t know if she will live. He ran out of work and went straight home to pack his bag and start the long journey to Newcastle by car.

He was half way there and it was 23:11 and he was falling asleep. He saw a bed and breakfast on the side of the road. The sign read “ROSES B&B”. He thought it look a lovely place to stay the night and could continue his journey tomorrow. He pulled over to the side and played for a parking  ticket. He noticed that his car was the only car that was in the car park. At first he thought nothing of it.

He look in the window of the small hotel and saw a table and chairs and an old couple sitting their having a cup of tea. He thought that they look harmless, so he walked up to the door and rang and waited. He did not wait long, in fact as soon as he rang the bell the door swung open. The old couple where standing there with enormous smiles on their faces. They welcomed him in as if they know him for decades.

He strolled into the hotel. It has a 1950 fell to it. There was oak fernature along the hall way with dim lamps. He look round the corner into the big living room there was a amazing chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It lit up the room superbly. In one corner there was a grand piano. It look out of place. He turned his head to the delight of a cup of tea. Th old cupple had a silver tray with some custard creams and tea.
