—Well, come on in!—
With Gruffy in front of us, we cautiously marched into the open gate.
Immediately, I stepped inside—
Damn.
—The pristine scent of air freshener danced into my nose.
We all paused for a second, taking in the ambience of this compound.
"Whoa!" Katie exclaimed.
"Magnificent," Jerry uttered in a low voice.
Marcus just looked around with widened eyes.
Truly, it was a very magnificent, spacious place. We stood on a ground decorated by interlocked stones that framed a wide compound surrounded by various large, steel-enforced buildings. Most of the buildings were dome-shaped and had curved roofs.
The now perfectly bright moon showered its light on the buildings, creating bouncing reflections on the metal roofs.
I moved my neck, surveying the compound with widened eyes.
At various corners of the buildings, large, long trees stood tall, their leaves moving along the cascade of the cool night air.
"This way, sirs." A young but stern voice called out.
