The One Door Knob Which Saves | Freewrite's Prompt : Door Knob

"Please don't go there, you will get lost son. Please listen to mummy. It is a labyrinth no one should go. Many go and never return. Please....."

Those were the last words Marcus remembered hearing it from his mum. The wailing and begging from the woman failed to stop him from his ventures.

He had been curious about that old spooky-looking black dark empty palace which stood with pride at the end of the street. Everyone in town feared to even set their eyes on it. Once you gaze at it, it would be calling you, luring and enticing you to go nearer. That middle red color door was the one. The one which seemed to have some force and voice to pull you in.

Countless families had had their share of mourning from losing their children there. Gullible pure-hearted children whom were led to go near it for hide-and-seek would be gone in sight. Hide and be hidden forever. Some of their parents who went in search of their children never return.

Marcus had a vision. He caught it somehow in his dream. That he would be the saviour. That he would go in there and come out alive - together with the rest who had gone missing.

But his mum, feared of losing him, the one and only child, did many things to prevent him from going. Even to the extend of locking him up.

Standing in the middle of the palace, he now understood why everyone who came never went out. It was beautiful and heavenly inside once you turned the door knob of the red entrance door. Here, in the center, there were so many doors and staircases you could not even count. Doors upon doors, layers of stairs, stacked upon each other. Interchangeable.

"Choose your door now."

A voice calling out from nowhere.

Marcus need to choose correctly. He recalled the pointer shown to him in a dream. He need to be on the look out for door knob with heart-shaped keyhole and opened it before it changed to another doorknob.

"Many go and never return, son." His mother's voice still echoing clearly.

"I mustn't make mistake. Marcus, you can do it," he muttered.
