Write a short story about a colored door. You can follow ideas from The Green Door. Perhaps your door will be blue or purple. It's your choice... Make yourself the main character. What adventure or experience will you find behind your door?

Your story could be based on a true experience or the experience of a friend or member of your family. Think about these things as they may help you to work out the details of the elements of your story.
