I like this alot. The fairytale, yet realness of it is good. It begs for a sequel, which some have tried. Good!

I think the thing that works best with this ficlet is the repitition. In particular, the final paragraph works well, as well as the way you end and begin the story with a sentence about the door.

Solid beginning, but I think there are typos. “betwee” is missing the ‘n’ and there was a place where you left out an ‘of’.

Still, it’s very intriguing.

nice.
