CHAPTER 6
Lisa breathed deeply as she entered the museum ....
In its tomblike silence , she felt a little of peace inside her soul ....
She looked forward to going to work each night ....
She imagined that the museum spoke to her , whispering seductively of things she would never experience : mystery and adventure ....
She walk toward the Middle Age wing and brushed her fingers over the portrait outside the entrance , tracing the prominent letters ....
LET HISTORY BE YOUR MAGIC DOORWAY TO THE PAST , An EXCITING NEW WORLDS AWAIT YOU .....
Lisa William (FL)
( Wry smile curved her lips )
Lisa William (FL)
" Could i use a magic doorway to a new world ... "
Lisa William (FL)
" A world in which i'd been able to attend college .... "
Lisa William (FL)
" A world where my friends not leaving me behind in the dust of broken hopes and dreams ..... "
Lisa William (FL)
" A world where my Parents who would live to see me grow up , perhaps marry ... "
Lisa William (FL)
( sigh )
She glanced at her watch and buried her misery in a burst of activity ....
She swept and mopped the wing until it was spotless .....
Dusting the presentations was a pleasure she savored , she loved running her hands over treasures in a way no guard would have permitted ....
She could have spent hours wandering the silent museum , studying the weapons , the armor , the legends and the battles ....
But The director Steinmann had a strict policy that she leaves the museum by 5:00 A.M ....
As was her habit , she saved Director Steinmann's office for the last ...
He often had interesting new acquisitions in his office to be cataloged prior to being placed on display ....
Lisa entered his office and begun to clean but she found an interesting history books and she couldn't hold herself from reading them ...
Then after sometime she returned the books to their slots in the bookcases that lined his office .....
Steinmann was a rude and very strict man ....
At her interview , she had risen and offered her hand , and Steinmann had stared at it with distaste .....
Then he informed her that the only thing he wanted from her presence was a very clean offices .....
He'd gone on to remind her many times of the five o'clock rule so strictly that she'd felt like Cinderella .....
Certain that Steinmann would turn her into something far worse than a pumpkin if she fail to leave the museum on time ....
After finishing her cleaning of the director office the exhaustion took her ....
Lisa William (FL)
( Glanced at her watch )
Lisa William (FL)
" There is still 30 minutes ... I'd rest just for a minute or two .....🥱 " ( yawn )
Dropping into a chair that faced Steinmann's desk she relaxed into it .....
Before closing her eyes , She noticed a strange looking box on the corner of Steinmann's desk ....
She hadn't seen it before ....
It was obviously a new acquisition .....
He had not locked it in the glass case where he stored new treasures yet to be cataloged ....
Lisa William (FL)
" Why would he leave such a valuable antique on his desk ? ... 🤔"
Lisa wondered as she closed her eyes .....
Forgetting everything She treated herself to a moment of fantasy ... That She was a financially independent woman in a beautiful home , and her mother was healthy .....
Imagining the perfect life she wish to have, Lisa drifted off to sleep .....
