An NPC's Reality

        After staring back and forth at the door and the woman for what seemed like forever, I stood up about to walk away.


	She stood up with her clipboard quickly and said, “You’re free to go Mr.Drewer, good luck.” 


	I nodded and headed to the open door gratefully. I stood still at the threshold, looking through but it was pure white space. As soon as I stepped through I saw Matt and Grayson talking in a long hallway with paintings of various important historical places and cities. I walked up to them and joined in the conversation.


	“We all made it past whatever that was. So that’s cool.” Grayson reflected as he patted me on the shoulder.


	“This must be the way forward then. Considering the door is gone. Onwards and upwards, right?” Matt said as we all looked behind us and saw a blank wall where the door was.
