Looking above I notice a dark cloud hanging over me. I try to pay attention to the ground so I don't trip. I walk further and it almost feels as if I'm being followed. I try not to look behind me, in fear of knowing the truth. I speed up my walking pace and head for my destination. As I approach the door I cannot decide whether or not to Knock, or let myself in. I was told I was expected, but who really knows? I feel a thin shadow, almost surrounding me, almost within me. With a deep breath of confusion, I proceed inside. Each stairway is a figment of insanity, but which one do I take? I decide to go for the one called 'Serenity.' I figure it will be my easy way out of this creepy place. As I make my way inside I notice it's not all it's said to be. Serenity isn't peace. Life isn't love. Only can we gain from learning from our pain. Only can we live, after we suffer. So I turn to the door after walking down the stairs, and I move slowly, inching myself to the outside. The shadow leaves me and the door unlocks, Exposing the outer world to me. I am back where I started, But my life's just begun.Birth sign: Capricorn
