-ret in the Pantry
Emma never thought her gracould hold any secrets. It creaked when the wind blew, smelled like cinnamon and dust, and had a pantry full odred years ago. Every summer, Emma visited for two weeks. She spent most of her time reading, picking wildflowers, or helping Grandma bake cookies.
But this summer was different.
It started when Emma reached into the pantry looking for peanut butter. She pushed aside a jar of pickles and noticed something strange. The back wall of the pantry had a small crack—and when she pressed her fingers against it, she felt a tiny breeze.
mma ran to get a flashlight. She returned to the pantry and pressed harder on the wall. To her surprise, it swung open like a hidden door.
Behind it was a dark tunnel.
Emma paused. "Should I go in?" she whispered. Her heart beat faster, but her curiosity was stronger than her fear.
She stepped inside.
