...it looks, and it takes a good amount of pushing to get it to budge. Once the doorway is finally cleared of the unwieldy thing, you take a tentative step out.

Good, good, no flames yet.

The wall, which is made of an unfriendly-looking gray stone, however, does look rather like it doesn't appreciate your intrusion. Well, good, because you'd like to be out of here as fast as possible, no questions asked, thank you. Well, maybe a few questions. You know, what with the curiosity and the kitten?

First things first, though: two more doors identical to the one you just shoved out of your way are mocking you with that weight of theirs. But, again, nothing you can do about it. Of course, that gives you a new choice: which door?

Well, seeing as how the curiosity and the kitten worked out so well for you, you decide to rely on another famous idiom. Now, if you could only choose a good one...

Author Guidance for this Story

Okay, I admit it: I have no idea where this is going. I'd like to keep my focus on idioms and such, but the rest is up to you.

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a branch to an existing story, make sure that the new branches you create are individually appealing. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
If you're writing a collaborative story, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
