Somewhere in strange lands, a place where the sun is the color violet and the moon is a shade of dusty rose, lies a door with a single keyhole. While the door itself is a simple wooden door with a simple wooden frame, the keyhole is not, for you see the keyhole accepts any key, and the keyhole will change its lock variant dependent on which key is intended to go in it.
The keyhole will become a warden lock when a skeleton key is presented, in the case of a modern-day key a pin tumbler lock will appear, the same will happen for car keys, safe keys, door knob hole keys, the lock will even accept pick locks as an option.

Many have come across this door throughout their travels within these strange lands, some could not understand how to work the door despite it being quite simple, some have worked the door but have decided to stay, and some have worked the door and have gone in with many of their fates being unknown.

The door's next user slowly approaches the door as he has been cautious of these lands since the very beginning, he does not have any recollection of how he got there or what he was doing before he arrived, and because of this, the young man has chosen to take everything around him with either a grain of salt or with the whole shaker.

Moments back he had arranged many mirrors and lenses of varying size so that a ray of light would make contact with a small hole revealing a small jewelry box, however instead of a sparkling necklace or shinning brooch what was instead given to the young man was a key ring complete with five separate keys.

After approaching the strange door the young man pulled out the key ring and went to flip to a pin tumbler key, however for a brief moment, a skeleton key had nearly brushed up against the door lock, and for that instant, the lock went from pin tumbler to a warden lock and then back to pin tumbler.

Taken aback by this the young many took the key that was considered first on the key ring, turning the key and opening the door he is then greeted to stranger lands in which the sky looked as if though it would collapse and the grass was infested dark creatures with nothing but a body and glowing white eyes.

He would quickly and quietly shut the door not wanting their attention, His heart pounding so hard that he swear he could hear it bouncing off of the trees that surround him.
He had tried three more keys after that encounter with one location radiating terrible heat that almost cooked him the second he opened the door, the next location gave the impression of a desert wasteland that blew nearly a bucket of sand onto the ground in mere seconds.

The third location seemed to be on top of a mountain overlooking a beautiful city with clear skies and fresh almost sweet air, he would have almost gone in if it wasn't for the fact he could see that the inhabitants were cannibalistic monsters who were tearing a man to shreds they would have ripped him apart the moment he stepped out of the door.

After closing the door the young man would try the final key on the ring, after he turns the key and twists the knob the door immediately shoots in words pulling the young man through the door he soon starts to fall for nearly three and a half seconds before splashing into a pond at the bottom.

He soon looks up to see the door on the side of a wall 50 feet above the ground, after exiting the pond the young man lays down and decides that he has done enough exploring for one day and has decided to sleep before his heart gives in.
