I stare at the door. I don't know how long I have been standing here, but my feet are sore. It's true that I've only been living here for a week, so maybe there is a chance that I somehow just missed this door and never noticed it, but I don't think so. especially because it is right in the middle of the living room.

I walk around it, circling it like a predator circling a prey. It is the same on both sides. Honestly, as boring as a door could possibly be. White. Gold coloured doorknob. The cheapest door that you could buy if you are playing The Sims and just moved in your first family.

I finally decide. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna open the door. I put my bowl down on the counter. I honestly don't know why I was still holding it. My milk and cereal splattered all over the floor anyway when I first saw the door in my living room. I'll clean it up later.

My heart pounds in my chest, I can feel it banging against my ribcage like a lion. I rub my hands together and open the door. Nothing. I just see my living room on the other side. Anti-climactic. But what if... I circle around to the other side. Again I open the door.

This time I see a mirror. I see myself in the doorway opening the door. A little more interesting but still not extraordinary by any means. But wait... on the floor in the mirror, I see the cereal that I spilled. But the cereal behind me is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And what I see in the 'mirror' is Froot Loops. I stare at myself. I realize what is happening. I can tell he realizes it too. This is not a mirror at all. This is a portal into a parallel universe!

I slam the door closed! I sit back against it and slide down to the floor, covered in sweat. I vow never to open this door again. I parallel dimension where I eat Froot Loops is something I never want to be a part of. There can only be evil behind that door. And for it to happen just days before Halloween, I am sure I will not be sleeping tonight.
