A Cautionary Tale
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” Those words still dripped deep crimson down the wall above a pool of congealing blood when I walked into the darkened bunker. To my left, a black door stood ajar, a useless padlock hanging from even more useless metal chains, crushed into a jumble of what was once a metal handle. A drop of unknown liquid dripped into some nameless pool, breaking the silence as I stepped toward that gaping maw of shadow.

"There was only one rule: don’t open the door …" When the NEMO-5 submersible vessel discovered what to all eyes seemed to be a seal on the ocean floor. The scientific world went crazy, as did the religious world. The vessel had been made to withstand the pressure of diving to the bottom of the mariana trench, the lowest point on the planet. The crew were stunned and shocked, hoping to find undiscovered sea life, no one expected to find a large circular seal, covered in markings that no one could translate. Whatever the language, it was older than recorded writing, and felt like a warning.

"There was only one rule: don't open the door." "That's a stupid rule, of course he would open the door! It's freakin' reverse psychology man." Rick rolled his eyes at the lame hook his buddy tried to start with and signaled for him to pass the blunt.

Surprise Surprise. Content Warning.
There was just one rule: don’t open the door. A foster child named Elijah had confided this to Tresa. However in other interviews from the Carson foster home, no one acknowledged a hidden door or Mitch Carson's strange behavior, like pouring meat down a laundry chute as reported by Elijah.

Rules are Meant to be Broken
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. “Don’t let the monsters out,” they said, “Or you’ll become one too.” The steel door had no less than seven locks, bolts and chains keeping it fiercely closed on the small room, desperately keeping the animals contained.
