When I was a kid my parents used to tell me, “Emo, don’t go near the cellar door!”
One day when they were away, I went up to the cellar door. And I pushed it and walked through and saw strange, wonderful things, things I had never seen before, like… trees. Grass. Flowers. The sun… that was nice… the sun..
