day 6
After travelling for 2 days i reach burton. i found myself on a cobble paved road, looking at "hughs sweet shop", how could the secrets to my past life be hidden within a sweet shop.
The turned the brass handle, apon opening a bell placed above the door rang out.
Inside, it was warm and cosy, too cosy. the place seemed well kept, but deserted, I walked up to the counter and rang a well polished bell. after several moments, a man appeared from behind a curtain in the back room. the man was old and wrinkled, but by appearances friendly and happy....that is until he saw my face, after which his expressions turned to confusion and shock, "well my boy, i didnt think youd be here so soon...we have a lot to talk about" he gestured to follow him behind the counter and through the curtain, he soon stopped still. Turned round and reached into his pocket. I quickly reached for and object to defend myself, just before i reached for what looked liked a statuette, he withdrew a small paper bag "strawberry lace?" he asked.
