4. The Parallel

Recently, we came to know the one bedroom, where I remember we had a window, had a door. It was quite shocking to me. I didn't know we had this 'extra' room. I opened the door with a sigh. And it turns out it wasn't a room, but the other half of my house. Should I be happy? Or horrified? I was unsure. Perhaps, looking at that, gave me the chills. It just appeared out of nowhere. It was much lower in temperature than where I was standing. There was a cold breeze without windows. A dim light flickering in the corner, the same parallel of the house at the other side. I thought to call out to others, but stepped without hesitation. It was empty, isolated, and dark. I had thoughts like, what if it's some sort of an illusion that is capturing me? What if I get locked in there and never be able to reach my real house. I ran to the other rooms to see. All were the same as ours, but abandoned and with no furniture. It was very chilly there. 'And when we get chills or less in temperature, we are much closer to death. ' This striked my mind. Once, I had watched a video about the signs of death, and this was told. I suddenly shooed that thought away from my mind to not ruminate much about the situation. Then, a creaking sound came from behind. It was the door that was closing without the wind pressure. Perhaps I was right, I was going to be trapped. I ran towards the other end to hold the door and go back. I closed the door and was terrified that I was in the other universe of my home, where everything was flipped. I had realised it late, out of terror, which was occupied in my mind. I was standing adjourned to the door I came from. When I turned back, it was just a window.
