STORY:
“No Such Thing” – Cynthia Lowman
A young woman visits The Building to retrieve something special for her friend. A ride on The Lift opens doors to the future and something dark from the past.
Some doors are harder to open than others, and there is often a very good reason for them to remain closed.
