There was only one rule: don’t open the door. I didn’t know why, and I didn’t question it. Not at first anyway. There was this tugging feeling that I had every time I looked at the oak slab under the stairs, its polished brass knob tempting me. It was easy enough to ignore, but then came the rattling, as if someone was desperately trying to get out. It was startling every time, but it eventually subsided to a light knocking. Fear turned into curiosity as the craving to know what laid behind it grew and grew.

Matter Meets Anti-Matter
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. She had said those words to me the first day we met. Many of the villagers were afraid of Agnes, the town midwife and healer. To me, she was my whole world. An orphan, she had taken me in as her apprentice when I, haggard and starving, first happened upon her woodland cottage so many years ago.

There was only one rule: don't open the door. The house sat at the end of Sturbridge Street, undisturbed since the end of the investigation in 1992. The rusty hinges were hidden behind an overgrowth of ivy. The vines: speckled with thorns - a warning to most, and an invitation to some.

"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.
