《Grimm》Chapter 6.0 : The Void And The door
Advertisement
Where am I ?
It's so dark, I can't see. I can't hear . I can't feel.
I….I
I
Who am I?
I search myself for answers but find none. Strange . I feel hallow , incomplete. Like a canvas without a painting. Like a book without any words. Like a dream without a thought.
Empty .
I look around me and I see, white space as far as the eye can see. Stretching everywhere. No ground no ceiling. Just white space..
I turn around and am greeted by a simple wooden door. It's just like me , not attached to anything just…there.
I look around it, just the same door. Yet it stands without support unconnected to anything. Defying any logic. Then again nothing here makes sense…it's not as if I have a frame of reference for strange anymore anyway.. the door knob is spherical it shines dully with a bronze sheen. No keyhole present. Aside from that it seems normal…out of place in this bizarre space. Why do I think it's not normal? I don’t even know what normal is. It's strange I know what it is but don't understand why I know it or how for that matter.
Who would put a door here?
I reach out to touch the door, not as if I have anything else to do here anyway, with my hands and twist the handle. I hear a dull click as the lock disengages. It's loud in the space where nothing exists. My hands are still on the handle, for some reason I hesitate to push the door open.
Do I really want to go through here? What's on the other side? Why do I have to leave here?
I'm safe here.
Nothing can hurt me here.
Hurt me…why would I think that? Was I in danger? Am I in danger still?

No there is no one else here but me. Nothing else.
So why do I want to leave? I could stay here forever. In this empty world, without consequence , without fear, without pain, without anger, without sorrow , without regret…without life… is this the place I want to stay? I feel like if I wanted , I can make this door go away. Make it so that I am truly alone in this place. I don’t feel bad here… but I can't feel anything at all.
My hands are gripped on the handle , unwilling to let go…what's on the other side. What could possibly be on the other side that I'd ever want to leave here? What could possibly be waiting for me?
My thoughts are tinged with rage, like I'm shouting at everything , blaming everything. Angry for reasons i do not understand
I HAVE NOTHING THERE WAITING FOR ME!
NOTHING AT ALL!
I'VE NEVER DID!
So why…why can't I let go of the door?
An eternity seems to pass as I stand in nowhere, clutching a door to who knows where. I take a breath, calm down and think. It's just a door it shouldn’t be that difficult a decision .
To open or not to open that is the question.
Alright ,weigh the options, I could stay here in nothing ,in this place of absolute certainty or take my chances with this very suspicious door to absolute uncertainty.
I begin to try and understand the true weight of my actions but it becomes painfully obvious that I've already chosen, because my hand is still gripped firmly on the door handle.
*sigh*
honestly I've just spent what seems like forever debating on whether to open a door or not. I've wasted enough time. I push the door I stare into it. There is nothing but blackness on the other side. I can't see into it. I turn around and see my empty little infinite white space. A world of light or dark. Choices, choices. Too late to back out now , I say to myself knowing full well nothing is stopping me from turning back and running in which ever direction I so dam well choose.

*sigh* I'm doing that a lot lately I think I may have picked up a bad habit. I wonder where it came from? Or who?
I step into the dark and the world of white fades to nothing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/n note : yes Grimm spent the whole chapter debating whether or not to open a door but it's meant to be more than just that. Emphasis on meant here because it may have just come across as just filler due to my poor writing skillz.
...I'm trying okay (˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ ) ?
You maybe be thinking "wow what an idiot he should have just opened the door and be done with it", now bear in mind here he spent all that time thinking about opening the door,
but you spent the whole time reading about it.. so honestly who is really the stupid one here?
================================================================================
Ps : It's me cause I had to write it (╥_╥).

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.

Endless Dive
He had been preparing for years. Finally, the time that he had invested paid off. His game studio had broke even and even started profiting. Quietly handing over his duties, after a few months he was finally free. The same day Azaan freed himself from his family business an entity that had been observing the planet for decades started unfolding its plan. Azaan finds himself thrown from one prison to another, even if he prefers this one. The world quietly starts changing as people slowly start gaining supernatural powers. Some use them for good, some for evil and some for pure profit. ------ This story will mostly be a slow burn, though I am considering including bits of time skips to reduce the repetitive stuff while also keeping up the pace. Synopsis will undergo if it can be bettered. ------ Tags and content warnings are mainly to give me creative freedom later on. This is my first novel ever, and English isn’t my native language, so please spare me, my lord/ladies. Any feedback is more than welcome with a bucketful of thanks.
