184. Something Upstairs - I


                                                      - H A R I N I

AAAAAHHHHH! Oh, sorry about that I saw a spider! My name is Caleb, Caleb Wearkinorp. And I know what you're probably thinking, but listen to my story and my last name will become the least of my worries!!!

I was living in Los Angeles when I moved to Providence, Rhode Island! I was in the car with my parents, because they told me that we were going on a vacation to Los Angeles, but, when we got there we were staying for real!!

No! No! No!!! No!!!! I don't want to live here, especially if I’m going to a new school! I stomped of to the attic muttering under my breath when I saw an old dusty window! I went over to look out at the window when I noticed a strange looking plaque that said:

Huldorf Family   1913-1998  

When I saw that it said Huldorf, I ran to my dad and I asked him if his father's last name was Huldorf, and he said that it was Kenny Huldorf! I realized that this house belonged to my grandfather! I wanted to learn more about him, so, I decided to look at the family album for more information. I got it out of the attic and I saw on page 68 that there was a photo of my grandfather and he looked just my father! I also read on the internet that my grandfather helped a slave named Caleb get freedom. I read that name over, Caleb, Oh my goodness, that’s my name!! I kept on reading and found out that he saved Caleb from an evil man named Pardon Tillinghast! I ran downstairs and asked my dad why I was named after a slave. My dad asked me how I got that information, but, I said that it wasn't important! He said that my grandfather wanted my name to be Caleb, to remind him that his best friend was still alive!

I remembered that there was a stain on the floor, but when my grandfather Kenny, saved Caleb the stain wasn't there anymore, but I went over to check and it wasn't there. I went into my bedroom which was in my attic when I saw a big stain!!! I stepped on it and I suddenly had a weird feeling that my dead grandfather was suddenly alive!! I jumped on my bed and I suddenly saw that everything looked different, it looked like I was in the 1800! I went outside and I saw my grandfather, I ran up to him and he acted like he wanted to tell me something! I asked him what he wanted to tell me and he told me that I was in grave danger and he also told me something about a keychain! Before I could ask him what that meant, he disappeared! I ran back to my house and I went to my bed and closed my eyes, when I saw a book glowing in the attic in my dream!

         When I woke up, I decided to check the attic and there it was, I picked it up and the book opened to a page and it had the shape of a keychain. I touched the page and a sharp object poked my finger and before I could say OUCH, the keychain came real. Like, I could hold the keychain in my hands!

         I went downstairs to eat breakfast, which was Alpha-Bits when the letters formed a word that read:     USE THE KEYCHAIN

I suddenly jumped out of my seat and my parents looked at me like I was crazy! I asked if I could go up to my room to work on an important scientific project to learn more about my new house. My parents said that it was okay, and that it was very important for me to learn more about this new place that I'm living in I ran up to my bedroom and jumped on my bed. I opened my laptop and typed Kenny Huldorf, when I saw an interesting website!  I clicked it and I found out more than I could have ever imagined!  I quickly ran to the Central Library and in the main office I told a man named Peter Tipson that I needed to look at some films from the 1800 and he leads me into a room filled with old CDs.   he looks at a shelf and he asks me if this is what I’m looking for, I reply yes and he kindly shows me how to play the CD. Later I put the CD on the projector and I now knows exactly what happened.
