Door Description+Sketches+Inspiration


You feel cold on the side of your face when you awaken. You open your eyes but find yourself in a dark, empty space. Unable to see anything in front of you, even your own hands, you begin to frantically turn about, hoping to find some sense of where you are when you see it- A faint light off in the distance; about as small as a coin you'd guess. You take a step forward and the floor feels icy and metallic, and as you make your way slowly through the darkness, you can hear creaks and groans coming from what seems to be the floor. As you get closer and closer, the light gets slowly more intense until you are able to make out what seems to be a door. The first thing to catch your attention is the light that you followed, which emanates from the window of the door, placed just above what seems to be a ship's helm in the center. The  light coming from the window is still faint, yet mysteriously you cannot see what is on the other side. As you get closer, you notice that the door is severely rusted and cracked with dents running along the frame. Many of the rivets are half protruded or otherwise gone entirely. The left side of the door houses two massive hinges, crunched and crumpled under some unknown pressure. The handles are also slightly warped, as if they were gripped just a little too tightly. You place both of your hands on two of the handles and try to turn when you are met with incredible resistance. The helm seems to be heavily rusted as well. For now you cannot open it.
