Hidden Behind a Door

Hidden Behind a Door

A Story by DanaKarri
"

Don't get trapped in the past, but look towards the future. Grudges are a way of holding the future back.

"

"There is this door" She said.

"And where does this 'door' lead to," said he physiologist.

"To opportunities," She replied numbly.

Have you seen what's behind this door?" He asked plainly

"No," She looked at her feet.

Why?" The question was simple

It's, - It's just - It's so scary, to think I could just leave everything

behind." She whispered, lip quivering.

"Why fear a new start?" Why again

Because I'm the one who was left behind." Her eyes welled with tears.

"How long have you been looking at this door? So many questions.

For years. For years I've sat in front of it, letting it mock me with its

cleanliness, but never have I touched it. A bitter taste crawls up my throat

when I even think about opening it," She justified, frowning deeply.

And why not try?"

"Because I can't just leave. I won't just leave my family's memory to be left

the way it is. I want vengeance for my family's death." She screamed

hysterically.

Is that what they would want?"

The question was stricking and struck her hard, like a bullet it cut open her

chest and let her hearts raw emotions out.

"No," She gulped down air, holding in tears. "Not at all."

So she reached up past her demons, clenching grasps and grabbed hold of the

handle, golden and warm. She faulted, letting a single tear fall across and down

her cheek. This was what they wanted. So she opened the white door, with eyes

closed and stepped through it, into an opportunity so perfect that she never

looked back once. She never looked back at the grimy blood covered door she'd

left behind.

Is interesting how fear of the unknown can create multiple things on persons to imagine what they have never seen before.
