Once again I must make a choice. No hesitation is needed. I must live now. The decorated door teases my senses. I turn my head to the left and pull the door. It resists my attempt. Locked. It had never occurred to me that a door might be locked. I must find the key. One of the other two doors must contain it.
Beyond the left side door there were other doors too. There must be an answer to something there. I hurry over and sneak inside. Doors are everywhere around me. I open the nearest one on my right. A restroom with no urinals. A girl's bathroom. It's unnaturally clean and I see nothing out of place. I leave. The nearest door to my left was dark and mysterious. A lone alter is illuminated at the far end of the room. There is nothing worth keeping inside. I leave.
I walk a little further before trying another door. An empty classroom. The desks are in rows, the chalkboard is blank, the teacher's desk is empty. Nothing of value here either. Just as I turn my head left to leave I spot a small scrap of paper under a desk nearest me. It was a note. There is nothing of value written upon it either. I pocket the message anyways. I leave.
There doesn't seem to be anything of value in this room of rooms. I slide through the original door and face the two remaining. The common door is my next target, but I notice a key protruding from the once vacant keyhole in the other.
My hand touches the key without removing it. It senses the touch of another. I begin to... but then I do not. I push the door open and turn my head to the left.
