Chances are, at some time in your life, you’ve heard your mother or father’s voice filling the house with this phrase, “Who left the door open?” My brothers and I tended to hear that at least two or three times a month, more in the summer. When it happened too many times, we received the lecture in regards to either “cooling the outside,” or “letting out the heat.” In dad’s eyes, we were burning up money as though it fell from the trees. Mom, on the other hand, seemed more worried about Nature finding its way into the clean house, or some hobo walking in and making himself at home in her kitchen.

In my world, if someone leaves the door open, the consequences are much greater. Anything can come through that door. Monsters, swirling winds that can carry one to faraway lands, even the possibility of a cosmic body planting itself in the living room can occur.

In my world, you’re welcome to leave the door open. If I left the door open in your world, what would come through your door?
