Mall

It all began when I stepped into an elevator with my family. As the doors slid open, an unsettling sensation washed over me, as if the elevator was about to plummet. Acting on instinct, I quickly leaped out, fearing for the safety of my loved ones. Glancing back, I was bewildered to see that the elevator remained unharmed, and my mom scolded me for my impulsive reaction.

Shaking off the incident, my mom took me by the hand and we continued our journey through the bustling mall. As we turned a corner, my attention was drawn to a peculiar sight: a queue of children eagerly waiting to enter a door. Something about them seemed out of place, as if they were detached from reality. Curiosity tugged at me, compelling me to join the line, but my mom, clearly distressed, hurried me along, pushing me forward.

Time passed, and we found ourselves back in the same area. To my surprise, the line of children remained unchanged, patiently waiting their turn. The door before them slowly creaked open, and the children started to file inside. Suddenly, a massive earthquake shook the surroundings, causing panic to erupt among the crowd. In the chaos, my mom left me behind, running away with my brother. Left alone, I felt an irresistible pull towards the open door.

With the building cracking and collapsing around me, I yielded to the mysterious allure of the door. Stepping through, I found myself transported to an enchanting forest, a sight that left me utterly astonished.
