The Locked Door

348 Words1 Page

There was a door that I had never gone in. It stood out in the middle

of a forest, a strange place for a door. It stood straight up and

seemed to have no supports, it seemed magic almost that it could be

there. When I first saw it there was a child going in. A little girl I

think, not very old. Perhaps about 6 years old. I ran along and when I

got there the door was shut. There was no lock on the door; therefore,

I took it that it would have to be open. Grabbing the knob I twisted

it and pulled. It wouldn't open, this was impossible!

Except … that child I had seen could be holding the door shut from the

inside, I pulled harder. The harder I pulled, the harder it became to

pull. Suddenly I realized there was a lock on the door. I must not

have noticed it before. That was all, now all I had to do was find the

key. Oops, it's time for dinner.

Running back home, I thought about the door, for some reason I

couldn't get it out of my mind. All evening I thought about it, I was

sure that the lock hadn't been there before! Oh well! Going to bed I

thought about it. It was in my dreams too. I was trying to get in, but

suddenly there were chains on it. Then I heard a bolt slide in place

and I could see it in the crack in the door. There were more chains,

and more chains. Every time I tried to get in more padlocks, more

chain and bolts would appear.

The next day I ran to the field and looked at the door, phew, just the

same as before. I started looking for the key, and then I realized

that maybe the door wouldn't be locked today! Running to the door, I

took a good twist and yank. Suddenly I heard a bolt slid into place.

Each day I came there would appear another chain or padlock.
