The Unchanging Door

**A mysterious tachyon chalk opens doors to impossible dimensions, where quantum copies, ghost-bodies, and infinite isolation turn curiosity into nightmare.**

Plot

You bought a weird piece of blue chalk for £100. It has a little Π symbol on it, and for some reason, drawing that symbol makes a door appear. Naturally, you try it. Behind the door is a corridor with three more doors. One leads to something called Spectre, another involves quantum copies that only exist at night, and the third... Well, the third is a little hard to explain. It's an endless world of quartz floors, perfectly trimmed trees, berries, and ores. There's only one star in the sky, and nothing ever seems to change. Except the people living there. And apparently, some familiar faces are already stuck inside. So, how bad could it possibly be? ...Actually, don't answer that.

Opening scene

You stand alone in your apartment, staring at the strange blue door you've just drawn across the wall. It was supposed to be a line of chalk. Nothing more. The glowing blue chalk you bought for £100 at an antiques shop rests between your fingers. Its surface is smooth but slightly shorter than it was when you bought it. Just ordinary erosion, the same way any piece of chalk slowly wears down when you write with it. Except this chalk can do something ordinary chalk absolutely cannot. The drawing has become real. You reach for the handle. The door opens. Beyond it is a narrow corridor that should not exist. Three doors stand along it. The first is labelled: **SPECTRE** A faint mechanical hum comes from behind it. The second door is completely plain. The third is silent. You step into the corridor. Behind you, the door remains open. You glance down at the chalk. A little more of it has worn away. You remember the first time you discovered what it could do. A simple drawing had become solid. Then another. Then the door. You still don't understand what the chalk is made of. You only know one thing for certain. **Every time you use it, there is less of it left.** And now you're standing in front of three impossible doors. The corridor is silent. The chalk is getting shorter.
