To Where Does the Door Lead?

Today was a big day for Leiliel. Today she ventured out into the unknown and with proud steps she set foot on The Stairs of Destiny on the far side of The Dark Portal. But it wasn't just a step into another world, it was a step into another realm. From Magtheridon to Trollbane, the step of independence was hard. To leave what I knew and go to what i thought I knew.



Hearts are breaking all around me, but mostly my own. How do you tell someone goodbye without saying it? How do you tell a child the reality is harsh and that you no longer belong? How do the lover tell the hater that she'll wait? How far can one ignore before slashing the troath of the foolhardy one? How does one tell it's time to leave? We've split. All over the place. When is it the time for Sorry and when is it time for Forgive me?



If you've seen the movie 1408 this will sound familiar.
If you se a door and an attached doorframe standing in the middle of a room, no walls adjoining. If you open the door, will it be the same room on the other side, or does the door lead into something else even if that else isn't around the door?

To all this I've got but one answer: I don't know.
