Squished between two tree trunks a brown weathered door squeaks in the silence as I push against it. It opens a little and a beam of light illuminates the world around me. I step through the door and close it behind me. The click it makes echoes in the well lit room in front of me. I take a few more steps into the room. There is an old fire place with orange and yellow shafts of heat bursting from the wood. Over the fire a pot full of steaming water is hanging from the chimney. An old wooden table and a comfortable rocking chair are placed quite close to the fire. I take a seat in it to warm myself up. A few minutes later with a cosy feeling inside me I spot a bowl full of delicious fruit in the middle of the room. I can’t resist taking an apple and eating it in front of the fire. I go to the door to throw the core of the apple away. The door opens and instantly everything goes dark, as if some one had blown out all the candles and the fire as well! Outside everything had changed, now the sun is shining and I can see trees and plants. Birds are flying amongst the trees and everything appears lush and exciting.
And so I continue with my life and I’m looking forward to opening the door again…
