She put her hand on the knob, and slowly opened the door, peeked around into the room and gave it the once over. Wrong room. Elsa slowly and quietly closed the door and crept down the hall. A light bulb was burned out near the ceiling casting gloom over the end of the hallway, but there was still one more door to check. And so she did. Carefully, ever so carefully she opened the door and looked into the room. This was it. The far window had iron bars on it, and the only furniture in the room was a mattress in the middle of the floor. A small white figure was sleeping, curled into a little ball and cuffed to a chain leading over to the wall. It stirred restlessly and her heart sank when she saw Maddie's face.

     She put her hand on the knob, and slowly opened the door.  Her legs were trembling, her hands were shaking, and  she hoped her desperation would not show on her face.  How could it have come to this?  When she graduated from college four months ago she felt on top of the world and thought she had it made.  Not only did she have a degree in science, but she had the highest GPA in her class.  Now she could not count how many job interviews she had been on. 
She pulled herself together and walked in to the room, trying to hide her anxiety and desperate to be hired as an assistant shift manager at the Burger Shack.

 She put her hand on the knob, and slowly opened the door. Her companions stood, bored, wondering what the weird girl meant to show them in the broom cupboard. But then the door swung open and revealed not the expected brooms and mops, but an impossibly long hallway lined with doors. As the dazed girls crowded inside the hall they walked slowly down the corridor and looked at the doors. Each door was slightly different from the next. Some were wooden, some stone, some metal. Some were tall and skinny, while others were short and squat. Some had elaborate handles and some plain. The girls wondered over the marvelous and utterly impossible hall until the strange girl quieted them with a wave and asked them... to pick a door. The eldest girl, Diane, pushed forward. The choice, she felt, was hers. She put her hand on the knob, and slowly opened the door.
