    Crashing through the glass panel of a greenhouse, I land onto a bed of velvety moss and roll forward into some large ceramic pots containing large trees with waxy green leaves and the most fragrant yellow flowers. While I am not entirely sure the location of this place, I know for a fact I am in a greenhouse of spectacular size. Checking myself for injury, I notice my clothes are in tatters, and I have a few bleeding cuts. Nothing is broken, no holes sliced into the depths of my abdomen, and my head is still attached to and directly above my neck. That last one is very important, don’t want t...pTeone door

    Poor-Little-Girl (Non)Sense

    I was sitting on the edge of the bathtub. Some white mucous stains were shimmering at the bottom of the tub.

The sky is a very dark grey and looks terribly gloomy. Memories of...pTeone door

    My Mind is a City

    That’s the thing about this city, it’s not really a city at all. I mean if you wanted it to be, sure, we’ll go with that analogy. For literature’s sake or psychology’s what have you. If me talking about www.onedoor.ccmy mind as though it were a city entices you, so be it. I can’t promise that I’ll keep your attention, god no. I can promise that I will ramble. I must, however, preface with the fact that I am neither a speaker nor writer.Let’s begin shall we?Who needs bullet trains when thoughts race through my head at speeds faster than I knew existed. China, Japan, and oh I don’t know, Germany? Yes, they ha...pTeone door
