This is an elaborate story, @phyna. I liked the mysterious red door, and how she discovered it. You have a good sense of mystery and how to build suspense!

It's terrible what happens to Jasper, but thank goodness he decided to abandon the cult. Just note that in The Ink Well, we advise authors not to add moral or religious lessons to stories. You'll find notes about this in the "Reminders" under the rules in our fiction prompts and our monthly newsletter.

Thanks for sharing your story. It's very intense and an interesting read!
