The Locked Door
The Locked Door
When I was a child my great grandmother would tell me the most amazing story about a locked door that she had passed by almost every day. Every time she came upon the door she would try the handle, just to see if on that day it might open. But it never did. On one dark, rainy, day my grandmother had gone to the store to get some eggs so she could make some brownies. On her way to the store she started thinking about that locked door. She wondered why it had been locked, who had locked it, and what was behind it. She got so curious about it that she had completely forgotten about what she had planned for the day. She ended up not at the store, but at the door.
It was at the other end of the creek. The door itself was burnt like there had once been a fire behind it. It had a silver nob that oddly enough had no smudges on it. She tried the doorknob as she always did, expecting it to be locked like always. This time however, it actually opened. Nothing could prepare her for what she would see next. It was as if it opened a portal to a whole other world. One that was very different than this one. The sky was a mixed shade of purple and pink with orange clouds that looked like cotton candy. The ground was more like a floor that was made out of glass and under the glass was water with all kinds of fish swimming around in it. The buildings, well there were no real buildings like we know them to be. The buildings there were made into and a part of the trees and hills. There were meadows of gummy bears where the dragonladies lived. A dragonlady is half dragonfly and half ladybug. It has the body and wings of a dragonfly and it is fully polka dotted like a ladybug. But they are not just red dragonladies, oh no, there are blue, green, pink, purple, orange, teal, white, and yellow dragonladies as well. The most amazingly strange thing was the people there had majestic wings of all colors of the rainbow.
