On my way to the end of the road I have already seen many fabulous sights, experienced countless wonders. Some of them I have shown and spoken about here on Steemit - some of them I have not! Perhaps you recall some of them:

Dear Steemsters,

Can you help me decide?

I am offering 50, 25 or 15 steem for what I decide are the first, second, or third most thrilling and imaginative descriptions of what might lie behind that door!!! I need to be inspired - by YOU!

I suppose the possibilities are infinite.......from a complete Dead End to a Trillion Billowing Galaxy Multiverse!

Get out your crystal balls!

Behind that door are two long roads going to the right and left directions. Don't be afraid to pass through these roads because both will help you decide what kind of life you will have in the future. Along the road in the right direction you will find flowers, trees and a river. While on the left direction you will find rocks and desert.

You mean that even after facing the gut-wrenching decision as to whether to open the door or just pass on by......
I then must choose whether to go to the left or to the right?

This is outrageous! Unless, of course, I can go down one of the roads and @twiceuponatime goes down the other and I am finally rid of him! That would be a heaven-sent opportunity!

Don't worry the roads are interconnected. You can transfer from one road to another if you want to.

I don't think it is all that easy to cross over. I know they do mention the possibility in Stairway to Heaven, but I doubt that it is achieved by more than a few.

"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on."

Wow. Nice post. I am quite inspired by the song. Crossing over then will be a big challenge. Maybe Divine Intervention will be needed.

😄

Seems that you are responding to @edong, not me. You might want to delete your comment here and make it as a a response to me.

okay sir I already deleted it. I already reaponsed it to you

Im so sorry about it sir

I believe that @twiceuponatime is hiding behind that closed door. Just sayin' :P

Oh my God! That's frightening!

Worst possible scenario!

Until he can meet me face to face - he's just another blowhard (trying to make a name for himself while pretending he has no connection to me).

@twiceuponatime Hehehehehe why are you so mean to him? Thanks for letting me use your photos though! I will give you credit twice once it's done, Twice.

Twice is my favorite number!!!

I could tell :P

Damn!

@onceuponatime I was wondering whether I could use that closed mystery door photo of yours (I'm sorry, I know it belongs to @twiceuponatime) for my entry post (I got inspired :P). In case I'm allowed to use it, I will totally give credit to both you and Twice!

I asked twice, and both times @twiceuponatime said it's OK with him to use it. But he (selfishly) said to only give credit to him, not me. He's like that, the jerk.

What if there's @twiceupoanatime WITH his evil twin? :P

Sounds possible and scary!

Double trouble! :P

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

:P

That batman buckle made me laugh.....wonderful contest!

I am thinking about putting it up for auction. If I do, what should I set the opening bid at?

I usually never give a price for unique @onartbali artefacts ....a honest and passionate collector will pay the right price

Just looking for the right opening bid price. I'm sure the bidding will go MUCH higher!

Tough question since it should be a “global” price 🙈😳

Oh, well then, maybe I should keep the original and just mass produce cheap knock offs for a global market. Skip the whole auction thing. I can even put a Gucci label, printed in China, on the back to make them extra special.

Hahahaa! Voila! That’s a good plan 😳

That batman buckle is priceless!!!!

Nope, we will discover a price for it when I auction it off :-)

I love the beautiful round building behind you and your certified original Batman belt buckle! 😊

What is behind the mystery door?

Once upon a time, as a desperate, helpless, numb young man walked the road of the end of life, a door appeared in front of him. He was already so weak that he didn't know was it a dream, insanity, death, or reality. Having nothing to lose, he put his hand on the door handle. As soon as he touched it, he felt that he is becoming one with the door which slowly sucked him through it and put him in a timeless space behind it. In that timeless space, he found love, compassion, mercy, smiles, kisses, hugs, safety, friendship, belonging, and warmth, although he was all alone. What he later realized, was amazing! The door led to his inner self.

Cheers,
@lifenbeauty

Oneness with the Door! Awesome!

House of Many Doors
Forbidden fruit fed me
Hidden eyes led me
To the House of Many Doors.

Woe is me,
I turned to see
I was without a key
Only, yes only, only
A need to be
Beyond all doors.
@onceuponatime

Hello, @onceuponatime, intriguing prompt--here's my entry:

Behind the mysterious door sat a familiar figure — cross-legged and reading in the semi-dark, with just the milky moonlight for company.
I do not know how I knew, but I did. I intuited the presence, at once, with a mixture of dread and affection.
“I’m sorry,” were the only words to leave my lips. “I’m sorry, too,” replied my longed-for-self, with a sigh of infinite kindness and pity.
He did not rise to greet me and, somehow, spoke without words, transmitting what was needed.
Through the wooden door, I heard his muffled cry: “You’ve taken every detour to avoid me,” he gently reproached. “For every step I’ve taken towards you, you’ve taken back two”.
I did not know what to say in my defense (how could I protest against myself?) “I missed you,” he said, and feared you’d forgotten me.”
His admonishment was tender as a kiss. “I visit from time to time, and hope you’ll ask me to stay.” I knew what he said was true, and felt that way, too.
“I worried,” he continued, “if you postponed this visit, we might never meet, in this life… and so I came to sharpen your appetite.”
The figure opened approached the door and moved towards me. “There’s no need to speak, return to your travels. But try to remember me.”

Beautiful!!! Thank you for your contribution!

Unfortunately, your entry did not meet with Rule number 3, so it is not eligible for one of the prizes. But it is indeed a VERY good contribution!

3. Entries over 100 words must be in your own post with the hashtag behindmysterydoor

Really glad you enjoyed it, and sorry I did not follow the rules more closely. I will consider your very warm appreciation as my prize! PS, inspired by your fine poem above, 'House of Many Doors', here's a small word gift, for you, under a 100 words :)


The Mystery of Doors

Every jammed door has its trick
how much pressure to apply
where to push, just so, how deep
at what angle to jiggle, pull out

So, too, with the apparently
difficult doors of opportunity
that stubbornly balk at all rattling
yet suddenly yield at the key moment.

Have a wonderful weekend, @onceuponatime _/|\_

Behind that door I hope to find my country Venezuela that we had 20 years ago, where there was respect, tolerance, good habits, security, food, union and peace. Where people struggled to work and not kneel before a group of tyrants I got a bag of food to feed their children, where there was freedom of thought, and a true democracy

That's a great thing to wish for!

Thanks for your comment in my contest!

I know what lies behind that door... Chaos. A whole other world where you cannot have control of anything, where you meet your darkest fears, where you are not that significant. A door that nobody really wants to open but when you do, you become wiser.

PS: The belt rocks!

No fair! You peeked! LOL

I thought peeking was allowed :P

This isn't a board game!

This is even more exciting!

Not all journeys have to come to an end, nor do roads. After a long, wonderful and hard trip, you open the door at the end of the road to find a nice reclining chair in front of a large table of incredible food; you eat until you're full, and take a nap. Once awake, you find yourself back at the beginning of the road, ready to restart your adventure on an alternative route :)

Nice thought!

Thanks! :)

@onceuponatime, behind the mystery door you see a wise man pointing you to continue to travel on the 'Road less traveled'. This is the door of wisdom where courage is needed to open. While it seems fearful and mysterious, all your anxious thoughts are removed when you see this road that is paved with golden stairs leading you to another kind of life that we are not used to see in this world. It is the world beyond. In one of the photo, you have a man in the wheelchair. They represent old people who had gone on before us and are waiting for us on the other side. Once you open the door to get through the mystery road, you won't want to come back because everything on this road less travelled leads us to a real paradise. But on the other hand, the wise man there allows us to come back to the door to tell our family what the mysteries are. That wise man is 'me' and now that you have visited this eternal bliss, you can tell this story to others.

(BTW, I want to let you know that I became a dolphin today. Do you remember how I came into Steemit last year and I posted about celebrating my birthday with my hubby and I asked you guys to guess the age? I want to thank you so much that you took interest in my post and gave my hubby a big birthday present for upvoting that post. That kindness of yours are forever embedded in my heart so today I want to know I made it to become a dolphin.)

Thank you for your comment and interesting interpretation of what's behind the door! There is much wisdom in your words. Unfortunately I can't consider it for one of the prizes because you didn't follow Rule number three:

  1. Entries over 100 words must be in your own post with the hashtag behindmysterydoor

I’m just dropping a comment to say what a fabulous contest this is. I desperately want to enter because I enjoyed the prompt so much, but I just won’t do this one any justice with the time I have. So I’m going to reluctantly see this one pass by. :(

I’m going to keep my eye open on your blog and be better prepared for your next @onceuponatime challenge! :)

Thank you. Time! What a merciless thing!

Warm thanks for dropping by and your upvotes! Unexpected, but so very kind. :)

Congratulations @onceuponatime!

Great contest..
Gave me an idea for a post.
Coming up soon..
I can write anything about how this other side of the door would be, Right?
Edit : Here's my contribution @onceuponatime
https://steemit.com/behindmysterydoor/@rjunaid12/behind-the-mystery-door-living-the-dream-1e58f94c5386b

Right. Looking forward to it. Don't forget the tag: behindmysterydoor

I'll edit my comment and share the link here as well.
Thank you for this opportunity :)

With dissimulation pass by the way, and as if it were not important to enter the door key…when you open your hands tremble, what will happen behind the door is imminent, the future will be different, that door is able to take you to the time of your life where you can change everything, where do you think you made a bad decision and now consciously you can correct it or change it. That door takes you back in your life to return to build the present. When passing through it all starts from the time that you crave change.

An interesting thought!

hehehahaha now that is something fascinating. So many weird things are popping in my head xD
Can't wait to write about this.

I look forward to your entry!

Opportunity. Lol!

Oh? I certainly couldn't hear it knocking!

Nietzsche's philosophical doctrine is seen as a total opposition to his own age. All his concern is to save the human being from the rashness of mind and to think through himself. According to him, God died and people were left alone on Earth. Because of this, people leave the desires and wishes they expect from God to an end and devote themselves to the world. It is thus easier to establish a link between thought and life. Friedrich Nietzsche draws attention with his words.Nietzsche tried to bring new values to people. He claims that it is possible to advance in the humanity, which is dominated by powerful people, composed mostly of people, and referred to as a herd. The herd will sacrifice himself to determine the upper man. The upper man is seen as the person who can be called me, who determines the reality he sees with his own eyes. At the base of all existence is the will to be stronger. According to Nietzsche, mankind does not only want to protect himself and live, but the real desire is to be even stronger.


hints and secret codes took me to Nietchze's minds. I hope you like it this way!


The human is like a tree. If you want to go and how high the light, so rooted on the ground, to down, darkness, evil deep

Unfortunately though, Nietchze went mad.

awww , fantastic! we are in izmir. 7 hours by bus to Istanbul. If you visit İzmir, be my guest with my husband! :) r:) we are rejoicing.

by the way,
I wrote a travel and photo blog for the first time!
Will you take a look at this if you have time? it would make me happy to see the valuable comment. I'm still learning this platform

Thank you. We will see if it works out for me this year.

@sweetsssj also does some good travel blogs on Turkey.
https://steemit.com/travel/@sweetsssj/travel-with-me-104-to-the-caves-of-cappadocia

ah yes I know it!
I have not read the blogs travel in turkey :)
and your support made me incredibly happy. thank you for that. Sometimes I really need to be motivated. You made it. I am grateful!

Behind that mystery door lies a great reward and depending who's gonna get in the reward will be serve. (like only good will and good will come to you).You need to go there and see whats in store for you. At your age and with your experience turning back is not an option and moving on is never a risk. Experiencing beauty of the world, happy and satisfying kind of life is the key to get inside that mystery doors. Inside lies a scary and nerve breaking obstacles but all those depravity surround you will strengthen and inspire you to face it and to continue till you reach the rewarding, fulfilling life you deserves, more than enough for you to share it with friends, family and relatives. Great rewards awaits for a strong and good man like you. Go inside the mystery door and embrace what you truly deserve the best of life for a good man (your character being a good man defines your great reward for a better life best shared with family and friends).

Great reply! I really like it!
Unfortunately it is not eligible for one of the prizes because you broke Rule no. 3
3. Entries over 100 words must be in your own post with the hashtag behindmysterydoor

Its ok and thank you for apreciation. I was trying to shorten it but it didn't work,lol it's because I'm too much excited that's why I fail, I have read all of it in your post still I fail,,feeling sad here but no worry I've got your appreciation and that's so much,, its like having more people (like more than 20) upvoting my post even if I got 0.15 points, the feeling is great when beingI appreciated with your work. Thank you and God bless.. Good luck to all entrants and maybe but I won't promise I can have it a post with the #behindmysterydoor.. is it ok if ever I'll copy paste my comment?? For my post? He he he

Behind the door is real life, in my opinion. I hope that my entry will be eligible, if not, thanks for the theme for my post! Anyway, it was the most exciting topic I've ever found. Thank you! This is my entry: https://steemit.com/behindmysterydoor/@bluemoon/the-end-of-the-roadan-idea-from-a-contest

Thanks for your entry!

It was a real pleasure!

I thank you too!

It was a real pleasure, of course! I wait for other such challenges for us here ... because of you.

My contest entry:

https://steemit.com/behindmysterydoor/@intelliguy/behindmysterydoor-contest-entry-for-oneuponatime-the-end-of-the-road

Innocently enough, as a Freudian slip, my original title said "for oneuponatime" (see URL) and I've corrected it to be "onceuponatime"

...my entry specifically talks about how you can be at one with yourself, and soul fully fulfilled. This is probably why my pineal gland had me write it as oneuponatime until I fixed it. :)

I saw your interesting twist to the theme. Thank you for taking the time to enter!

What a great post @onceuponatime ! So many awesome adventures you have shared with us Wow ! upped and resteemed ! I just started a Auto Voter yesterday and added you to my list as I recently returned to work and dont want to miss my favorite steemians posts !👍👍👍✌
🔮 My enrty : 🔮
I see you entering the door which takes you up a golden staircase to a heavenly place where you get to see a real life movie played of all the awesome and wonderful places you been in the world and experinced throughout your life ! Like a real life dream ! End.

Thank you for your cool entry! Golden staircase leading to a Heavenly Place eh? Would that be what Led Zeppelin are singing about in Stairway to Heaven?

Hahaha , yes im sure it is !! glad you liked my short story !👍👍👍😀

Thanks for your entry!
Unfortunately, I was unable to see how it fulfilled Rule 6:
6. An eligible entry must somehow tell what lies behind the door.

Amazing post! I have enjoyed a good laugh while reading the comments and your replies! Thank you so much for being so generous and kind.
Very nice and intriguing photos! Your Batman belt also raised a question “where is Robin?”
Is that crystsl ball you were holding really made from quartz crystal?? If so, you are in possession of lots of power! Please use it carefully!
This contest is a real challenge! I will have to meditate on this to find out what is behind the mystery door!
Cheers.

Robin got busted for some kind of indiscretion that we have been trying to keep on the qt. He is currently under house arrest, soon will be on parole. However a conditions of his parole is that he not consort with known criminals, even as a crime fighter. Apparently the line is too thin.

The crystal ball is of unknown pedigree.

I am glad you are getting a laugh from my post (I think. It does have to be for the right reasons you are laughing), and I am looking to your meditation drenched entry in my contest!

I also have a thing for batman. I burned out my brain with too much alcohol, so no imagination and not participation. Just wishing good luck and appreciating your idea!

I am planning on auctioning off my Batman belt buckle. You could be the lucky high bidder. The Food and Drug Administration won't let me make the claim that it cures alcohol damage - but use your imagination and bid high :-)

You should. I could be the best Batwoman you have ever seen. Give me that belt buckle, goddamnit.

Go, go, go. You will end up in the Golden Path

It's beautiful!

Thank you. I pass by on week days to the bus stop and sometimes the sun shine nicely from outside. :-)

I will make a post entry for this one.

WOW!!!!!! By far your "richest" and "awesomest" (is there such a word?) post when it comes to photos and content (from what I have seen in my three months on Steemit). Way too many things to talk about and comment on this post, but I will focus on one and say this: This Batman belt should be auctioned ASAP! Even if Steem or Bitshares or Bitcoin or whatever crypto-coin won't make you rich, this belt definitely will! BELIEVE THAT!!!!!!!! LOL

EDIT: OK, I will make my own post about it tomorrow then ;)

Looking forward to it!

Well you entered a great mysterious city cheers

Cheers.

Batman loves you tk

Awwww, but I love him too ;)

Oooh! I love this contest! I need to get the keys from aunt inspiration before attempting to open this door :P

Oh, darn! I wish you hadn't announced so soon that you are a contender! That is going to drive away other potential entrants in despair!

Ooh! I hadn't realised I can scare people off :P

It's not a good idea for amateurs to get into the ring with the Golden Gloves Champion!

Your compliment makes me blush ^_^

But there are so many talented people here to motivate participants do their very best!!! ;)
After all, we 're doing it for the fun on of it!

Said the spider to the fly. LOL

Of course you must go through this door... behind this door there is the key for making Loutraki the most crypto friendly place in the world.. steem will explode, everyone can create an account in 2 minutes.. all hotels and travel agencies accept steem..and last but not least.. a daily BBQ organised by you in Loutraki ;-)

You seem to have a very crypto friendly crystal ball!

The old wooden door was always there, nobody seen any soul going in or out. To tell the truth I probably would never pay attention if not the event that happened to my once day.

As always I had my morning jogging along the same path along the door, this time my internal voice made me step into the house. I was puzzled but nevertheless grabbed the doorknob, the door opened all by itself, inviting me in. Once I stepped in I found myself in early 80‘s the time of my childhood. That door was the door of our wishes.

Thanks for your entry!

Thank you!
(I overheard @twiceuponatime tell someone that your entry was his kind of story! I don't know whether I should take his opinion into consideration or not)

Please do, lol.
Thank you

Behind that mystery door, your power of choice will still be in full effect. You will see a narrow door, with a trapped princess, waiting to be saved from the locks, manned by three fierce looking wild dogs, but with your charm and funny words, who knows, it might calm them, while you save the princess. The second door leads to a beautiful garden, with @twiceuponatime waiting on the green grass, maybe waiting to take the glory again for anything you do, but it's peaceful and calm.

I would face three fierce wild dogs any day over having to put up with @twiceuponatime!

Hahahahahahahahaahahahaha. That is deep!. Save the princess then, and take her to the garden.. but then, @twiceuponatime would be there. Let's hope he won't steal the princess...after all the stress you went through.

Behind that door is you.

With a laptop open, in a big desk.

Writing a post that says:

"What mystery lies outside this door?"

Maybe :-)

Here is my entry
But you still fight to get in.
so you start kicking and pushing.
so as to successful.
For if you feel you have to open a particular door, open it, otherwise all your life that door will haunt your mind!

Even though the story sounds innocent. Its nice to let out the kid in you once in a while right? Thank you for this opportunity :)

Nice. Thanks for your entry!

Behind the door there can be a room where money is stored. Behind the door is often an apartment, a house, or at least a cozy room. There are surprises waiting for us outside the door, but we are not ready for everyone. It happens that there is a surprise behind the door, for example a bucket full of water, which tilts as soon as the door is slightly opened. But I think that behind the door the ladder is looking up, at the top of the lighthouse, which shows the way to the sailors. Maybe it's not true, but how beautiful :)

Anything that shows the way to the sailors makes it worth leaving the cozy room where money is stored and risk having a bucket of water fall on you. For sure!!!

good morning...we all dream of a different world you have two choices to take us into antiquity or even beyond,the other in the future of a new planetary in a different way of thinking and life the nature opens around youand where there is light suddenly you lose Nevertheless feel a strong presence of some form .you will not be afraid because it does not allow you the level you are at you will feel a form but you will not see it and you will follow it because your soul says it you will wander will know you will be loved in a way that you have never experienced before and then the light will come...
the question is whether you will pass the door again to come back???

You are right. That is the question :-)

Wow, @onceuponatime that's generous.I 'll need some time for this one :p Ι will be making a post too, I believe for something great a bit time will be needed at the end! Great challenge though and great picture at the Temple of Heaven

Looking forward to it!

Since yesterday it's ready and I really hope you enjoy it.I really wish it didn't get lost with the astonishing number of entries.Sorry for the delay but I wanted it to be special.

I think when you open mystery door and enter the door will itself locked and then sounds will start and when you take few steps some bats will approach you and pass near bye and when you take few more steps you will see grove in the mid of room and when you saw through it there is fire below the room which make you fearful and suddenly rocks start falling from roof the room and half of the room floor down to fire.

And that's the end of me I guess :-)

No when you are about to fall and hanging then a beautiful angel through roof the door came there hold your hand and get you out of the room through roof and take you with herself in some garden.

Oooh this, what I love! Mystery, mystery and room for imagination. I think I'll make a post for that. And I admire the way your text is built. You are a great master of writing, which is able to interest and attract the reader. Subtle sarcasm, intrigue and metaphors, I had a nice time reading this story. I'll leave a link to my message when I make it. See you soon!..

OK.

But I have to admit that my metaphors are mostly failures because I was actually attempting metaphives!

@onceuponatime,
I will try to join this contest! But can I guess what's behind that mystery door? Personally I think it's a toilet. Sorry if I am wrong, but narrow doors are using in my country for that purpose :D

Cheers~

I think you will have the most practical answer, but perhaps not the most thrilling LOL

@onceuponatime,
Ha ha yeah, not the most Thrilling answer! I will participate this contest! Hope I can find a good photography to win this contest!

Edit:- I think I already joined the contest lol :D

Cheers~

I missed this post. :( ... I know the contest is closed . But nevertheless !
Your question made my mind tick.
And this is what I want to say -

"What lies behind the closed door is a manifestation of what lies in your soul" .
The Universe outside is the reflection of the Universe inside.
The universe and destiny only play for you the story of your soul.
:) .

For me, behind the door is FREEDOM :)

My answer is for you, @onceuponatime . Hope you like it.:)
Not part of the contest as the contest is closed :)

This article is great @onceuponatime. and feel free to read my comment. thank you.
BEHIND THE MYSTERY DOOR
Behind the mystery door, are two roads whom you decide to which road you will pass. the first road, is the worldly things, such as money and a lot of temptation which you love. You will experience those temporary happiness in that side of road.

The other road, the road that gives you a genuine happiness and contentment in life. No money, temptation, and only freedom from mundane things. Away from temporal things, and this road will nourished your spiritual being. This is the road that leads you to our God and have an everlasting life.

What ever happened to the middle path?

In the middle of the path, you will encounter a lot barriers that will distruct your decision from going in the right track but as long as keep your faith you'll conquer those obstacles. Just take a sacrifice, be patient enough and dont be bother by manly things and you'll be get there full of grace ,embracing the true meaning of life.

And we're glad you did!

Happy Easter.

An interesting entry! Thank you.

Thanks @onceuponatime for great contest.
I upvoted, resteemed and I'll try to write)

OK, but don't hurt yourself :-)

:-)

I will be the first to admit I'm not the most imaginative, but you intrigued me, so I put together something, I had a little time so i thought why not? :)

My head still hurts from the fall at the end! Here's the link to his entry:

The door doesn't normally open for majority of people, because they think they need a key. So they proceed creating all different kind of keys exist to open it. Well, but what if you knock?...As the door opens, you'll find yourself.

I will remember to knock next time. Thanks!

Hopefully you could read my comment between the lines! Thanks for amazing posts =D

I lived in that house for 10 years and I'd never seen what was behind that brown mysterious looking door until that last day.

The house I once lived in was old-fashioned with a smell of musk and damp with the feeling that someone was always looking over your shoulder. The living room was the first room when you entered the house. The room was filled with very used furniture. Uncomfortable seats with holes in them and springs coming out of them, worn down rugs over the bare wood floor, and a large display case with pictures, and dusty books. And the enormous window that, during the day, will let as much sunlight and energy in the room as it possibly can. My house is part of a beautiful street where each house seems to stand on it's own little hill like royalty. 15 was my house.

Nice reply!

Unfortunately, it is disqualified as a contest entry because it violates Rule 3.

3. Entries over 100 words must be in your own post with the hashtag behindmysterydoor

But thank you very much for your interesting comment! I hope that you will enter my next contest.

where you meet your darkest fears, where you are not that significant. A door that nobody really wants to open but when you do, you become wiser.
I love the beautiful round building behind you and your certified original Batman belt buckle!

When I am wearing my certified original Batman belt buckle I have the courage to open any door!!! :-)

Well well well, The mystery behind the door?
I think there will be a storeroom where we keep our old or useless thing, it is only my guess, i could be wrong.

P.s I don't know what is happening around here, i'm new, but i would love to know the story of this mysterious door.

That's a trap! Whatever you do, DO NOT follow the light or follow what the (humping) rabbits do. It's a loop! It will forever take you from life to the other. Crystal balls are useless. It's a place where you must be void of any thought. Whatever things you see must not evoke old memories or make new ones. Forget everything.

Except that Batman belt buckle.

If it's what you want, then follow the light. However, you are already in the loop.

Actually, the destiny of EVERY belt buckle is to become part of a loop.

Then, mystery solved! :)

"So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known." Matthew 10:26

If I answer you what lays behind the door, won't you lose the reason for opening it yourself?
The main driving force that makes us go through hardships to open the final door is the mystery it is hiding.

It was me, wisepotato. Sharing my wisdom with you once or twiceuponatime. Don't let anyone destroy the pleasure of opening doors for you.

Actually, I like my potatoes mashed. You sound like you have been roasted.

That's what I get for enlighting masses with my incredible wisdom - being called a roasted potato!
I'm now a heartbroken potato.

You should have listened to your friends when they said "Let's go to the bar and get mashed!"

As someone who travels around the world and does good deeds. I don't have time for silly things.
I'm here to share my magnanimity and lead people to the right path. Or door!

Hello,

It is a great idea for contest, I will join too :D. I love your belt ;)

My belt is also extremely fond of you :-)

Thank you!

Behind the door , was a bottle , and inside the bottle was an estranged spirit. Nobody had dared to stay in this home , as many bad events had taken place. At last this house was named The Ghost House. Nobody knew if this was all a myth or reality , so some young travel enthusiasts entered through the door , to witness the real truth , but nobody knows what happened to them , till today 🤷.

I know what happened to them. But I'm not telling!

Hahahaha

a great contest!
I know what's behind the door really makes me laugh.
Thanks for sharing @onceuponatime

Well, if it makes you laugh I guess that is a good sign!

Thanks, @onceuponatime
I support you, and I am very happy to join you @onceuponatime
I will wait for the next chapter?

I think behind that door there a world exist which you have never seen. There will be greenery everywhere. Never ending sight of greenery and waterfall and there will be stairs down made of soft cotton and it will beautiful more than your imagination. Everything will pop in front of you what you will think.

Nice! Your entry is noted.

the mysteries could be cool sometimes you never know what awaits next :D

Didn't you see my crystal ball! Of course I know what awaits next! LOL

Beautiful pictures as always!
What’s behind the door 🚪?
Legend has it that if you spread @nonameslefttouse’s belongings on the door steps and then lock yourself inside, his spirit will visit you at some point that same evening. The only stipulation is, no matter how much the spirit begs and pleads, you cannot open the door; doing so would upset the balance between the real world and the realm of the living @nonameslefttouse. If you are curious if that is true, you follow these instructions.
Good luck and Happy Easter!

I think that my balance with the real world was upset a very long time ago :-)

Will definitely take part, need to think about it first!!!
Great contest @onceuponatime 😀!!!

I can almost smell the fragrance of your entry already!

"All images by @twiceuponatime unless otherwise specifically attributed."- It mean you copied from his photo clicks ha ha....
However amazing and perfect arrangement for provide creative steemit community.

"It mean you copied from his photo clicks ha ha...."
Well screw him!

You might know that there are about 40 portals on Earth. Some are underwater, some high up the mountains. I think yours is a portal cloaking as a door. Portals lead to other realities by way of lazing together the space fabric of different dimensions. Portals are Quantum, and once you enter you become Quantum as well. So it could lead you anywhere. But I KNOW that Earth portals always lead to long forgotten and legendary places. Maybe not El Dorado, but the portal might lead you to hidden treasures on another planet. But in all cases entering will expand your consciousness.[100 words]

I've always wanted to be Quanrum :-)
Your entry is noted.

QuanTum ;)

Very elegant way to present you, The truth is in all your words.
It is possible to get many useful examples from your writing. well done and keep it up.

I may tell that you have gone through very cool places and now it's time to discover what's behind the door, I think behind the door you will find places much better than this.

That's a nice thought!

Well @onceuponatime i am really looking forward to write a blog with the tag #behindmysterydoor shouldn't i give it a try?
