Someone once said, “Humans have a great power within them.” They couldn’t have been more right.

In the late 2000’s, Humanity stumbled upon a secret in the genetic code. More specifically, a door to their untapped potential.

Thus leading to the discovery of "God" within. Upon further investigation, these doors could, in fact, make the idea of magic possible and an unlimited amount of knowledge was bestowed upon humans.

Each "God" is different as is each door inside of people. No one is clear on how much can be drawn out of the gate though one thing is clear. The door has the power to grant a wish, but in return, the door opens and kills you after it is fulfilled.

You would be amazed how little anyone actually tried to wish for world peace. Literally, thousands for the world to end. It is amazing how many hate the world. I suppose humanity is just never ready for the option to fix itself. Foolishness to the max. But enough about that.

The “God” always asks the same thing “What do you desire?” At that moment, a crawling feeling enters your head. Then “God” knows all your not so pleasant secrets. The ones we all hide from everyone.

The desire can be simple or complex. But in the end, if you make the wish poof you’re dead. I’m not exactly sure if the wish creates a new reality for the asker, but that in its own way, is granting the wish is it not?

The toll required for the wish is simpler still. The toll is the “soul”, or the essence of the person. No one can tell what is on the other side. Many don't wish to know. Could you blame them? Many died over the idea

What is on the other side?

But death can only stop so many. Some brave souls, requested for the door to open and learn its secrets. If they succeeded is anyone's guess. As their lips are covered in six feet of dirt. One could say they went on to the next plane of existence or, for others, just ended completely. As I would love to go on, I should move on to my tale.

 I will be telling you. In fact, the story follows the rare one among humankind. The man said to not have a door to "God." A man left on the borderline between human and devil.
