Walking through the beautiful garden, Zobe slipped and fell headfirst into a pile of balloons. She tried to get out, but all she could hear was that funny squeaky sound, and all she could see was pinkness. Every move just pushed her further down. After just a few moments of struggle she stopped, exhausted, and tried to think. Now that the balloons had grown silent she could hear other noises. Not the noises she’s been hearing in the garden though. There were voices. Laughing and talking. Excited voices. She tried to hear what they were saying, and was just about to call for help when something grabbed hold of her head and started to pull. Her feet were stuck, but whatever was pulling was determined. Zobe screamed as she came free and fell out of the pile of balloons. When she opened her eyes she saw a kindly face looking down at her.
Ellie smiles and picks Zobe up. “You’re late,” she says, “but no worries.”
She turns to watch the game, but only a moment later the balloon tower topples over.
Everyone laughs and Ellie shouts out, “I think that’s enough Jenga for the moment. Now that everyone’s here, how ‘bout a game of scrabble?”
