My First Night At The Natural History Museum
My reflexion stared back from the polished, marble floor. Dead animals watched me from their glass displays.
A dog barked. I’d been discovered.
A guard approached. “lost your way, pet?”
I tried to run, but he walked past me towards the dog. “Yes, mate, it’s an ugly exhibit. First human, arrived today.”

I always imagined scary and spooky things would happen in Museums in the dad of night…. I find Natural History Museums, especially the one in London, very inspiring. Here I am on a visit with my son. Fortunately, during the day, with plenty of other visitors!
Also unforgettable, the film A Night at the Museum, a comedy starring Ben Stiller.

Thank you, Olga. I’m writing a contemporary romantic suspense at the moment, so I’m constantly looking for twists, turns and ways to surprise readers!
