Chapter 149

• Clock, chess, door. I recited them in my head,
• "Chess, he loves playing games, clock? Clock? Maybe a secret passage behind the clock? Too easy, door? It's an entrance!" I looked at the clock and it chimed, as it chimed moonlight flittered through the curtains landing on the table. Maybe lifting the chess game will reveal something? Too easy as well because if you wanted to hide something, you had to hide it well.
• I moved closer to the walls and began to pat around hoping for something to push in and open, that didn't happen and then I went back to the table thinking again.
