They were standing outside the gaping doorway.
‘Is this right?’ asked Mike. ‘She calls her new apartment a piece of paradise. This is hardly the Golden Gate!’
‘It’s the address on the invitation’ said Mitch.
‘The stairway to heaven’s supposed to be paved with gold’ chuckled Mike.
‘Mixed metaphor, mate!’
‘What? I’m the king of metaphors, Metafive some call me!’
Venturing inside, they started climbing.
‘The song says there’re four steps to heaven, not fifty-four’.
‘No Mike, three steps’.
Are you questioning my song knowledge? I’m known as the Musical Mastermind. Anyway, let’s knock-knock-knock on heaven’s door!
‘Welcome,’ said Angela.
‘Halo’, said Mitch.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Roger Bultot for the picture.
