50 Doors

I had to distract myself and my body seemed to be in working order. Therefore, I slowly stood up. I slung the back pack over my shoulder and slowly walked up the curvature towards the side of the sphere. At odd places around the sides of the sphere a knob protruded from the surface. The knobs were at odd distances from one another and were each a different size and shape. The only similarity between each knob was that they each had the same reflective quality of the sphere itself.

It took me a little while to figure out how to do it without counting some of the knobs more than once, but I counted the knobs. There were exactly 50. I chose one of the knobs at random to investigate further.

I reached my hand out and took hold of the knob. As soon as my hand came into contact with the knob, a faint outline traced in oval shape around the knob. The oval was about 5 feet by 2.5 feet in size. I immediately realized that I held in my hand a DOOR KNOB . What would be on the other side of the door?
