Re: Donna C/"Unknown"
I was never interested in law enforcement. My dad was super heroic, but I always wanted to be in a lab. Ever since I was little, I wanted to know how people worked. As I got older, I just kind of got obsessed with improving what was happening inside people. It's a slippery slope. [Blink.] I think we're a bubble universe, and the doors are simply physical portals. The fact that the world beyond the portal hub (the hotel) knows about us is easily explained if you follow that line of thinking. If the hotel has been around a long time, then it would stand to reason that some of our stories have leaked into other worlds, and those stories have become the equivalent of folk tales - digital, celluloid, written, etc. Following this theory, your world is just like ours. It's just another door. Also, if you apply the concept that time overlaps, it explains why some of these folk tales accurately depict things we might not have experienced yet for ourselves.
