[WP] A security officer is charged with guarding a door but he's never been allowed to enter. After years of service, he has never seen anyone use the door. Describe what he finds after not being able to hold off his curiosity any longer. | The door was not locked, it opened without effort. I was hesitant but I simply needed to know. I grasped the knob firmly and gently opened the door and peeked inside. I noticed a second door seemingly attached to this door open in a similar manner, I quickly shut it.
Very odd how the second door opened. Perhaps it ... | Seemed like a normal night, one like any other. At about 8:00 PM I arrived at the back-alley, parking my car behind some garbage bins in the old lot, fenced in by buildings. As usual, the lot was entirely, utterly empty.

[WP] A security officer is charged with guarding a door but he's never been allowed to enter. After years of service, he has never seen anyone use the door. Describe what he finds after not being able to hold off his curiosity any longer. | Neil stood in front of the nondescript wooden door. A door he had been guarding over for almost ten years. In fact at the end of his shift tonight it would be ten years exactly. He remembered when he first got the job. He was in college, barely passing classes, unsure what to do with his life. All he really needed was ... | Seemed like a normal night, one like any other.

He creeped into the room, taking a few steps before he seemed to bump into something.

[WP] A security officer is charged with guarding a door but he's never been allowed to enter. After years of service, he has never seen anyone use the door. Describe what he finds after not being able to hold off his curiosity any longer. | My hands trembled as I slid the key card into the lock. I knew this was the end of my career here. I needed to know, it was driving me mad. As I turned the door handle I began perspiring and my hands were slick with sweat. Gingerly I swung the door open and there it was.

[WP] A security officer is charged with guarding a door but he's never been allowed to enter. After years of service, he has never seen anyone use the door. Describe what he finds after not being able to hold off his curiosity any longer. | Being unable to hold his curiosity any longer, he presses his ear into the wall. He holds breath, and closes his other ear to listen for any noise. He hears faint crying which sounded as if it were coming from a child. In a panic to save whoever was in trouble, he tries to open the door. The door won't open.
