[[Open gate.]]
[[Nope! No thanks.]]You open the gate. The latch comes free easily in your hands, like a silken rope. Strangely enough, the latch was metallic.
You enter the garden, the pungent greenery invading your eyes. A chaos of colours beneath your feet, as you step over the flowers. Beautiful. You have no regrets in opening the gate, and decide to pick a few flowers.
How many do you pick?Phew, no way in the world were you going to encroach on that territory. The gate looked far more rickety in your mind as you turned and walked away.
