Through The Black Door

Outside you find a raging storm while the sound of a horse draws near.

This is a Choose Your Own Adventure story. Click here for the chapter guide.

You’re a 24-year-old woman awaking on the night of September 21st.

You’re lying in a pool of drool next to your father’s encased tomb in a dedicated mausoleum.

Outside you find a raging storm while the sound of a horse draws near.

Through a crack in the door, the horse’s shadow invades the space which hastens you to hide in the nearest corner.

This same shape transforms into a human being before knocking the doors open completely.

The mausoleum once illuminated by torchlight is snuffed out by the wind, leaving you cold and alarmed in the corner.

But soon you witness a tall cloaked figure walk in, reigniting the torches with one hand motion, leaving behind violet flames.

They arrive at your father’s tomb and whisper something to him while dropping a bouquet in remembrance.

As they turn for the door they detect you hiding in the corner, staring directly at you with green eyes.

The figure turns into a black mist before assembling the form of a horse and once more vanishing into the night.

It seems that you and the visitor may possess a connection that begins with your father.

But what may that be?

On this terrible night, you possess two options:

• You may leave the mausoleum and pursue the visitor.
• You may investigate what they left on your father’s tomb more closely.

The choice is yours to begin this dark journey.
