The Door

The Door

A Chapter by Lord of mad men

So this story starts when I was but a young lad...

I was around twelve when it all started... Ah, it's been that long.

I grew up in a small town that was very old. It predated the 12 colonies. The town was founded sometime the revolution by the Spanish. The town had old buildings that were crumbling but the oldest was the library. It was first a house for a Spanish ambassador then it was a church then a bank than a college and lastly a library. I spent most my time reading about far away places and the things school did not teach. I was a smart and curious boy always seeking more knowledge that is what lead me to the start of all this. I was in the library more than class. I loved to learn about the world and of stories from far off lands. I was reading by the time I was two years of age. I was a fairly fast reader. I had read so many books I started to wonder the library looking for new books to read that is when I found out about the town history vault from the old librarian. I went down into the basement and saw an iron door painted history vault on it in white.


I opened the door and dust flew into the air causing me to cough. It looked like no one had been down there in years. For the next few weeks, I spent hours down there reading and finding out about my town like that the old crypts connected to the sewers but were sealed off after an accident. But one night a few weeks before summer break I was reaching for a box on a high shelf and the shelf fell over knocking over a few old filing cabinets. I went to fix the mess when I saw something strange. It was a hinge that looked very old. It was covered in rust and dust. So I moved the cabinets and there it was a rusted bronze door that had inches of dust covering it. But oddly there was no handle to be found.


 I returned the next day to clean the door and when I was done I found a slot for a key. The door had no markings besides on the slot which was an engraving of the letters R.L.M. I searched the vault for a key or anything with those letters but found nothing. So I asked the librarian and she told me to search the archives. I searched and found nothing at all.
