The villagers will pounce on you any second. So you go against conventional wisdom and choose — the black doorway.
As your body merges with the translucent film, all sorts of doubts run through your head: Doesn’t black mean death and green mean peace and safety? What possessed you to choose the black door? You hold your breath, fully expecting to encounter a monster like the snow beast, or worse.
To your amazement, when you emerge back into the world, there is no death awaiting you. Instead, you see an endless expanse of nothing. Everything around you is white, not like the snow, but like the blank screen of a frozen computer.
You breathe in deeply. It certainly doesn’t feel like the afterlife, since you thought that whatever an afterlife may be, it would be more populated. Not like this dismal land of emptiness.
But is it truly empty?
