Two Souls, One Door: The Threshold of Reality

By Christopher Goodrum

How do you leave a room when the only door disappears and reappears at random, and moves away from you when you approach? How do you leave an endless void of darkness and silence? And when the only rule that governs the room is only one person may pass through the door?

Alex Porter always enjoyed a mystery. Especially a paranormal one. But if it’s not on a television screen or a in a book, it might be more than he can handle. The void offered up no answers to where he was or how he got there. He only recalls the beginning of nap. A respite before attending his high school reunion.

After many hours in the void, he is joined by someone new.

A waiting companion who just complicated his current situation.

Christopher Goodrum

Christopher Goodrum writes on the go. That is how he would describe how he prefers to write. He still prefers the old way of writing: putting pen to paper, even in this age of laptops and tablets, Starting with comedic skits for talent shows at a young age, Goodrum quickly found his knack for humor and the art of screwball comedies. His later years transformed his work from skits to dramatic plays, having scripted, performed, and directed an one-act play for the senior class of his high school as well as scripted original dialogue for his high school's Broadway Revue show. All the while, he begun his adventures in writing novels and teleplays. After a few years, he shifted his focus on honing his craft in writing novels: particularly in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Goodrum is an entertainer at heart. A self-proclaimed jack-of-all-trades in this field. He acted and directed; sung and danced; composed, recorded, and performed musical scores; played the piano; briefly tried stand-up; and learned the art of improvisation. He performed in numerous plays and musicals, both in high school and for San Joaquin County in California, performing in front of the state's capital; and performed in two theme parks, including Paramount's Great America (now, California's Great America) and the Disneyland Resort. Through it all, writing was the one thing that was always present.

Two Souls,

One Door:

THE THRESHOLD OF REALITY

"This is new," Alex Porter stated, mildly surprised.

Prior to this moment, Alex Porter had been here a long time. A very long time. Hard to say how long, but it was safe to say he exhausted all 99 bottles of beer on the wall, all 12 days of Christmas, and to every song on Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet album…three times. He was amazed he remembered every word of every song considering he had a hard time remembering his own name.

No stranger to strange things, Alex took to his current situation with curiosity and a great deal of patience. He was intrigued by the unusual and pleasantly perplexed by the paranormal. Aside from his exposure to fictitious works such as The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, and anything by Stephen King, he loved the reality shows involving ghosts, mythical creature hunting, and UFO encounters. He sometimes wondered what it was like to investigate such occurrences. Wondered what the qualifications of something like that was. Wondered if valuing sleep was a problem as he often couldn’t make it passed midnight without dozing off.

It seemed, however, he was in the middle of his own paranormal experience. He found himself in an endless void comprised of
