Most of the word “caution” had worn away, but something about the remnants of yellow and red gave us pause when we found the door.

I think the fact that the door clung to the base of the mountain warranted a slow approach.

Jack on the other hand, walked right up and knocked. That's how we discovered it was wood.

It had been painted in a way that looked like metal, an old trick to fool outsiders.

Jack wanted to break the door down, but I burned it instead.

We expected it to be empty until we heard the laughter.
