The Doorkeeper let out a grunt of satisfaction. Imagine that; he was clever enough to get the Wheel of Life going again...But as the great mass continued to groan its way into motion, he noticed an unsettling detail in the type of motion. He backed out of the way and stood to attention, his eyes bulging. Then, very slowly and very deliberately, the Wheel of Life rolled past him.
He stared in bewildered fear as it began to gain speed, passing into the darkness beyond. He took a step after it and paused. The Doorkeeper had never left his post before. But his post had always been right beside the Wheel of Life.
He swallowed a wad of something smoky and then began to run --an awkward run without bending his knees or elbows, his head bobbing up and down as he stared after the great shadow of the wheel. If his post was going to move, he would damn well follow it. Soon, the door was completely forgotten and the Wheel of Life rolling through the unknown.
