Chapter 4 – The return
Ethan walked back to the place where he had entered this new world but the door had disappeared. He searched for another door and found a cave. Ethan wanted to continue searching but his curiosity took over and he started to walk inside. It was dark but surprisingly warm and it had a weird smell. Unfortunately, he was afraid of the dark and didn’t have any source of light. He could hear a mysterious sound behind him and ran to the end of the cave without checking for stones underneath him.
He ran and ran through the scary, dark cave until he reached a door at the end. Desperately, he needed to stop and take a deep breath but he kept running anyway. Grabbing the door handle as hard as he could, he pulled the door open. Exhausted, Ethan sat on the hard ground, gasping for air. The door was gone. The corridor was bright. He was in the emporium again. Shocked, he crept back through the door where the shopkeeper was stood there waiting for him.
“Ah, you’re back! Did you find what you wanted to find?” She asked. Ethan shook his head. “Well, the past can’t be undone. Come again another day.” She said.
He stepped outside then turned around, wanting to wave goodbye, but the emporium had disappeared. Oh well, he thought to himself, she might be back tomorrow. But she never returned.
