I
used to walk past that simple wooden door with its chain that said
something but did little. I knew I should not approach and go through
the door, yet that which was supposed to stop me was so pathetic it
seemed more like an invitation.
From the age of six I would wonder what was behind that door. At 13 I found out.
There was nothing spectacular, though.
When I picked the lock and opened the door I discovered the building was a facade only, a construction hiding an exposed section of railway.
If it weren’t for the chain…
Return to pick another ending.

And what's with that chain in 1a? :) This is such a fun idea, I liked 2b best.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I don't think I made the first one work properly. I was trying to get at the fact that they wouldn't have even looked or been keen to find out what was behind the door if there was no chain, but ran out of words before I could actually say that.
