The Hut

There was a hut surrounded by thorns in the middle of nowhere. Dark, mysterious and isolated. No one ever wanted to go inside it. Everyone tried to maintain distance from the hut. There was a little girl. She, unlike the others, was very curious to see what's inside.
Driven by her curiosity, she somehow crossed all the obstacles in her way and stood in front of the closed door. It was disturbingly quiet and scary, but the enigma captured her heart. She went ahead to open the door. It was jammed as if no one ever went inside. After a lot of efforts, she finally opened it and stepped in.
To her surprise, it was exactly opposite of what she had imagined! The scary silence started to seem peaceful. The hut was full of sunshine in contrast to all the darkness outside it. She was extremely happy and satisfied and pitied everyone who kept themselves away from it. She couldn't get enough of the blissful peace and made that place her home.
One day, another girl came in the hut and pushed the little girl outside. She told her to never come back in the hut and closed the door on her face.
The little girl stood outside, crying. She preferred staying amidst the thorns around the hut than walking away from it, but everytime looking at the closed door made her drown in ocean of sorrow. Eventually, she walked away accepting her fate.
The darkness outside the hut is not what she fears now. She fears knowing that she'll never feel peaceful the way she felt inside the hut. She fears knowing that no other place will give her the feeling of being at home. The closed door she was once curious about, now haunts her..!
