Everyone else seemed to know where they belonged. I wasn’t so sure. Sometimes I felt like an alien pretending to be human. And every once in a while… someone would understand exactly what I meant.

Everyone else seemed to know where they were going. Graduate. Get a job. Build a life. But one question kept following me everywhere. What’s it all for?

I thought the doorway was the beginning. I thought the impossible world beyond was the mystery. I thought the man waiting on the other side was the answer. I was wrong. The story started long before I ever saw the door.

For a moment, I thought I was alone. Then I noticed the figure standing beyond the doorway. Watching. Waiting. And somehow… it felt like it knew exactly who I was.

At first it was just a glimpse. A flash of mountains.A sky that didn’t belong here. Now the impossible was crossing into my world.
