I wrote a short story for my English teacher as an assignment and I though I'd share it here. It's about a two girls who get sucked through a portal at the top of an abandoned staircase and end up in some sort of cursed wonderland. The girl who's narrating the story slowly turns evil and power hungry and at the end, she's too far gone and lets her best friend be beheaded. The story shows how people can be blinded by power and do things against their better judgement.
