Nathan stepped out into the forest and turned around.  Behind him was still the door he had exited, but it was set into the wall of a bank.  He couldn't see his house anywhere.  This was impossible, but true.  He had actually stepped into some sort of other world.  Excitement filled him.  All those years ago, he had been right!  Now it was his birthday and what a gift this was!  He pumped his fists into the air in victory.  He checked his cell phone, but it did not have any bars at all.  That had to confirm it!<br/><br/>He pulled the door shut behind him and it melted magically into the bank.  Scrambling around, let he loose it, he discovered a lip of rock which pulled out to open the door.  Relieved, he decided to leave his now useless cell phone to mark the location of the door.<br/><br/>Setting off into the forest, he thought about going back for a sweater against the cold, but was to excited to do so.  He ran along a path he found for awhile, hoping to find some of the inhabitants, but without success.  Surely if this land were magical, there would be inhabitants!  He halted beside a pond, surrounded by large rocks.<br/><br/>The pond's surface was covered over with algae and lily pads.  He saw a frog hopping between the lily pads, so there was at least some life here.  He decided to sit down and take a break, before continuing on.  He had already decided to return to the house and collect camping supplies.  He would set up a camp at the site of the door and use it as a home base, while he explored his new world.  As he sat beside the pond, he slowly fell asleep.  He did not hear a low rumble start under the pond, until it was much to late.<br/><br/>A nasty creature called the Trogwell lived under this particular pond.  He was six feet tall, green and covered with slimy algae.  When he saw someone was sleeping by his pond, he cackled with delight.  It had been so long since anyone had been foolish enough to do so.  The children's stories always scared them away.
