“Chapter 1- Entering the window” by Heather Duckett

Primrose walked up twenty steps and opened the library door on a dark stormy evening. Slowly she walked up to the front desk. "Where is the fantasy?" she asked. "Go straight down that way and then turn left, it is all the way in the back." The librarian replied.  "Thank you." Primrose said. She walked down an isle of books and then turned left.

Bella stood in her dark living room looking out the picture window at the glistening stars. Her house stood in a wooded patch in the country, the only house for miles. She was waiting for her husband to come home and she could see the main road best from this window. She thought she saw his headlights but wait… headlights are not red. Bella stared more intently than before at what she saw or maybe what she thought she saw. But wait, it blinked she was sure it blinked.

Submitted to Contest #95

The valley of shadowsAfter walking through a thick piney forest I discovered a rock wall with two doors. They were both enormous, the biggest doors I had ever seen. The door on the right was an oak wood door with flower vines and a green grass pathway. I loved this door it was so beautiful and made me very happy.

This door made me feel sad and afraid. I stepped...
