This is probably my shortest drabble so far. Somehow I was able to stop before going on and on this time. ^^;

The infinite corridor went on and on that day. Arin suspected that it looped back on itself at some point, but he had no way of knowing. All the doors along the corridor looked alike, although the worlds hidden behind each could be as different as the worlds on land and beneath the sea. Once he had gotten lost in a jungle world, where blue-skinned cats jumped from tree to tree and hissed at him. Another day he got lost in a dark world whose inhabitants resembled floating candles. He was fortunate to find a pool of clear water in the jungle world, and a silver mirror in the dark world, else he would have been trapped, unable to return to the infinite corridor. It was a hazard of the interworld-messenger trade, yet he looked forward to each assignment. Nothing thrilled him like the prospect of journeying to another world he'd never heard of.
