Narrator Storytelling

Red door in an ancient forest, read aloud. Warmth and pacing, no theatrics.

The Prompt

In the heart of the ancient forest, where sunlight barely touched the moss-covered ground, a lone traveler discovered a door that shouldn't have been there. It was painted red, standing upright with no walls around it, and from behind it came the faint sound of a piano playing a melody no one had composed.
