Some are technological — like the sliding ones at supermarkets that open for anyone, even when you’re not emotionally ready for them.
And some, dear reader, are the Other Kind. The capital-‘D’ Doors. The ones that aren’t supposed to open.

It was a door.
Which, to the untrained eye, might seem like stating the obvious, but this door—capital "D", possibly in bold—had Opinions. It didn’t merely exist in a wall. It loomed. It was the sort of door that stood slightly ajar not because it had poor hinges, but because it knew things. Things like how to wait. How to creak ominously in the windless silence. And above all, how to suggest, without saying a single word, that going through it was a very bad idea, but precisely the kind of bad idea heroes make just before chapter twelve.
It had a knocker, of course. The kind you wouldn't dare touch unless you had a very strong will or very thick gloves. The wood was old—oak perhaps, or something that remembered being oak before it changed its mind and went into theatre. And the carvings….well
