Beyond the YELLOW DOOR
Beyond the YELLOW DOOR , April 30th, 2023, involves a young British Guyana girl who visits her aunt and uncle in the country. She has never been to the countryside before and is curious about everything. Nicknamed “Miss Curiosity,” Yihanna lives up to her name. She explores the farm her relatives own and loves to listen to stories.
Yihana’s favorite story is about the empty farmhouse next door. She is intrigued that her cousin heard creepy noises when she went to open a yellow door in the kitchen. Her cousin ran away due to the noises, but Yihana wondered what could be beyond the Yellow Door.
Yihana’s curiosity overcomes her, and she sneaks over to the empty farmhouse. She encounters spooky noises as her cousin did and is scared. Yihana attempts to discover what is really behind the door but is thwarted three times before she determines to ignore the noises. When she eventually opens the door, a huge surprise awaits her.
