A Strange Visit

One day I was walking back home from school. Suddenly I saw a strange door in an old familiar building which I had never seen before. Curious, I neared the door. When I touched the door, it slowly opened. As I went in, I was frightened to see a statue who welcomed me calling my name. I saw a self full of old books and many pictures on the walls. There were strange sounds in the room. I had a mixed feeling of amazement and fright. There I got such a magical experience which I will never forget.
