You press the button.

  Ding.

  Aha. I knew this room would come soon. It usually does.

  The room you’re in… is lined with doors.

  They… They don’t have numbers above them, but yeah, this is basically it. They’re all the same style, but they’re painted different colors.

  Let’s see what you do!

  You look them all over, thinking carefully. You count out a few of them, then head over to a green door. You open it.

  On the other side of the door is… Nothing! It’s just the wall.

  You head to the closest yellow door and open it. Also nothing! Fascinating!

  Then you go to the next green door, passing up a red door and two purple doors. Behind Green Door Number Two is… The same thing as behind the first green door.

  You’re walking with more determination than usual, heading straight for the nearest blue door. You open it, looking like you expect something to be there.

  Nope! Nothing! Just a blank wall!

  You stop, perplexed. I don’t know what you’re so confused about. Ok, look, the whole gimmick of this room is that there isn’t anything behind any of the doors. People usually open a couple up, realize what’s going on, open all of them just to be sure, and head back to the button.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  That’s happened literally every single time.

  Well, you’re different. You look around, and close the four doors. You go to a different green door, then yellow, green again, then blue.

  Nothing happens.

  Are- are you trying out a pattern? Why?

  I mean, go ahead, there are eight of each color in the room, so whatever you’re trying, you’ll be done in like… five hundred and twelve tries. Give or take. My math might be a bit off. It never was my strong suit.

  You go ahead and start trying out every combination! Ok then! I’ll just sit back and pull up Among Us again, wait for you to get bored.

  You open a third blue door, and to no one’s surprise nothing happens.

  I join a room, hoping to be the impostor.

  You close the doors, and try another combination, opening yet another blue door.

  A boomerang comes flying through and hits you square in the forehead.

  …
