Alice and Henry find a curious door in the attic of a quaint cottage they just purchased. |
| Alice and Henry bought an old English country cottage beside the ruins of an ancient church. It is a small one story house with an attic. The house is a "fixer-upper" and they begin renovations. They finish the main living areas with new kitchen, bathroom, floors, etc. and then decide to move to the attic because they want to have an additional bedroom when guests come over. They haven't been in the attic, yet, so spend a day just exploring and thinking of how to fix it up. Then, they start removing old dusty boxes filled with pictures, clothing, and all manner of junk from the attic. The last piece they tackle is a large and very heavy armoire that had been filled with clothing. Behind the armoire they find a door that seemingly can't go anywhere as it is set against an outside wall and there is no opening on the outside. The door is nailed shut and there is evidence that someone or something tried to come through it from the other side. Curiosity gets the better of them and they pry the rusty nails from the door where it had been sealed. So many nails. Someone did not want this door to ever open. The knob is rusted solid, but, with some effort and lubrication, they get it to wiggle. It's locked. Alice remembers seeing an old skeleton key covered in cobwebs hanging from a rafter on the other side of the attic. She retrieves the key and, sure enough, it fits the door. With a rusty squeak that sounds like a scream, the door unlocks. Henry turns the knob to open it. They peer inside, and despite it being a bright sunny day outside, all they see inside the opening is a dark void. Alice shivers and tells Henry, "Close it! I have a bad feeling about this!" Henry laughs, but does as his wife asks. His curiosity is piqued, though. And, though her fear is real, she is also curious. They finish their work in the attic and stay there, talking and sketching out plans for turning it into the space they want, but both continually make furtive glances at the door. It is calling them. ============================================ The rules: This is predominantly a TG story No character death or grave injury No underage or non-consensual sex ============================================ The initial options: 1.
