Fiction Contest Entry: Natural Selection

Thank you for entering the contest The Island. Here is their story: A doorway, frozen in time sits. Unadultered and untouched now for years. Dust having gathered and settled thick.

Dark and unkempt, unseen computer monitors. Halls unwalked now for some time. The little light provided by various pieces of machinery reflect off...
