Chapter 28
The Apartment Door

Chapter Description: A young man finds a mysterious door in his new room.

Derrick was a young man that had a really strong wish of being a kid again. But not in the way you could imagine. He had lots of photos of his childhood, from various ages and places, around his room, he did ageplays and even wore clothes with more childish designs. The only person who knew about his wishes and hobbies was their roommate Perry.

One day, while they were movinging to a new apartment, Derreck moved the wardrobe in his room and saw a weird door in the wall. “Perry, come here!” He shouted. “What’s up?” Perry asked and Derrick pointed to a door. “Oh cool. It looks like some weird shopping elevator.” Perry said and opened it up. But it was something different, where it looked like a small room with a lot of baby things. “Oh, that’s weird… it was like it was made for you!” He teased his roommate. “Hey! But seriously now, it looks pretty comfy, so I can try to use it somehow.” So, right after he set the things up in his room, he had some free time and started to look through that weird room. He started to see all the things and got mesmerized for how it looked like something for him, but he needed to clean the room, so he emptied the room, just letting some boxes and baskets full of clothes.

Later that night, Derrick was looking for the things before he went to sleep, he looked at the pile of stuff that he removed, he found a weird box of diapers he never saw before. They were elastic, and even though they were intended for kids, they seemed to be able to easily fit in his skinny waist. He tried them on and it was a perfect fit. He thought they were pretty comfortable and decided to sleep in them. But while he was sleeping, the door in his room started to glow in a very bright blue light. “What?” He asked sleepy and a weird voice started to talk. “Hello, Derrick. I’m Mist and it seems that you found my special room, am I right?” The voice asked. “Yes, I did.” Derrick said. “Well, why don’t you come here so I can help you with your dream?” It said. “What, you can help me be a kid again?” Derrick questioned. “Yes, Derrick, just enter here and I can do it.” That offer seemed irrefusable to Derreck, so he opened the door, and its insides were different now. Looking like a portal, and he entered without thinking twice.

The next morning, Perry woke up hearing some weird noises that he didn’t know where they came from. They looked like a kid’s laughter, but he wasn’t sure. He knocked on his friend’s door. “Derrick?” He didn’t hear anything, but noticed the door was open. And to his surprise, he saw that weird door was open, and a little boy only wearing a diaper, apparently 3 years old, just sitting there. “Mowming Pewwy!” He shouted. “Derreck?” He asked. “Yeah, it me! I’m a kid again!” He cheered. “Yeah, I know, but how?” The young man asked. “Wet’s say a fwiend hewped me. Now to status my etwenaw baby wife, I need a change.” He showed a bright smile.
