Story of the Door

Authors Note: in the short story "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson each door symbolizes change from when enetered or exited. Weather if it is from personality, appearance, or spiritual, everytime someone walks through a door in the story, something changes.
She was on her everyday schedule, getting coffee, driving to work, then coming home to workout and relax. She had moved on from her past into a new, better, rich lifestyle from what she was haunted and raised in, throwing everything to the back of her head. She was beautiful, well saturated with goods and luxery. She went from rags to riches and god forbid she would remenice. The door flew open at her like a brick wall. Being dragged against her will into the darkness yet once again was what she dreaded, through that one dark, demolished lifestyle. Here she was nothing, worthless. She sat there sobbing in the cold cement room as anger flooded throughout her body. Everything she had ever worked, dreamed, and pleaded for was ripped out from underneath her in a heart beat. In all hope she prayed to see that beautiful door again. she would kill for it. The one back to her heaven. But for now she sat in hell. While her memories of luxery and peace ate away at her day to day. A week later she saw her door again. behind one of the walls she tried to reach and open it. her fingertips were just one inch from the knob, she was just one inch from relief. The more she tried the farther she got. She was on cloud eight, desperation to get to cloud nine. And there she sat, on cloud eight, for the rest of her life.
