Two Doors

A man wakes up to find himself in a white empty room. The walls are white and blank, the ceilings are white, the floor is just one white board with no tiles. In this room there are two doors marked A and B. The man knows what is behind Door A ( don’t ask me how he knows ) – all the things that he enjoy, be it activities or objects. A place where he thinks he could find happiness. The door is decently decorated with a rose hanging just below the letter ‘A’.

Door B is more elaborately decorated than Door A, with a large bouquet hung where the rose would be. The man is not too sure about what’s behind this door. Judging from the appearance of the door, he figures it would lead him to a pretty fun place but whether he will find true happiness is unknown.

The man decides to open Door A ( he has to open a door if he were to leave this strange room ). In he goes and he sees the rays of the sun filtering through the canopy of trees. He walks on the soft grassy path slowly, but as he begins to trust his environment, he quickens his steps.

Then out of nowhere springs out a grey wolf. The wolf stares at him with black menacing eyes and lets out a cold mist as he snarls at the visitor. The man is taken aback by the wolf’s presence but tries another step forward, only for the wolf to growl loudly and make one leap forward, landing just in front of him.

The man knows the wolf is not there to eat him; rather he is a guardian of this mysterious place and obviously does not allow him to tread further. So the wolf escorts the man all the way to the door and as he steps back into the white room, the door shuts.

So back in this white cell, the man is looking over at Door B. Should he make his escape through this door? Having seen the wolf behind Door A, what dangerous creatures lurk behind Door B? And if there are any, would he be lucky enough to escape unharmed this time round?

Then he looks at Door A. He has already seen for himself the beauty of the world behind that door. But how is he going to get past the guardian wolf?

The man slumps against the far wall and ponders over his escape plan.

Door A, or B? You choose the answer.
