100 Words: What's behind the door? and What's behind the door

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…

There were ten of them. 

Dark wizards, all, with piercing eyes and crooked, gnarled wands. 

Come to uncover our plot, they asked with a wicked grin before releasing me back into the world as a frog.

I met a man who didn’t want to be bothered.

A fascinating man who’d made himself lonely following a much too full young life.

We became firm friends and I accompanied him in his final years.
