The Door to 1998: A Liminal Space Horror Story

By E. Reyes

What if you found a door that led back to your childhood... but everyone else was gone?

Daniel moves into a quiet suburban home and discovers something strange in the shed behind the house.

A locked door.

When he finally opens it, he steps into something impossible.

His childhood neighborhood.

The year 1998.

Everything is exactly the way he remembers it-the same houses, the same streets, even his old home.

But something is terribly wrong.

The neighborhood is completely empty.

No neighbors.
No cars moving.
No voices.

Just endless silence and the unsettling feeling that he isn't actually alone.

At first, Daniel believes he's been given a miracle-a doorway back to the past.

But the longer he stays, the more the world begins to feel like a trap.

Because nostalgia can be dangerous.

And some doors should never be opened.

THE DOOR TO 1998 is a dreamlike liminal space horror story perfect for fans of backrooms horror, eerie nostalgia, and quiet suburban nightmares.
