[ WP ] A miner finds a pristine wooden door embedded in the bedrock

“ Don ’ t they have tech these days that like sprays water and breaks the rocks to smithereens or somethin ’? ” Rod asked the miner sitting next to him. They were part of a large group descending into the mines for another day of the same tedious rock-bashing. 
 
 “ I think it ’ s like fricking or somethin ’, but those environmentalist people have some kinda problem widdit, so they don ’ t use it a lot. ” The miner replied. 
 
 “ Okay, ladies, listen up. ” Jimmy, the foreman, announced over the PA speaker on the lift. “ These are the assignments for the day. ” Rod muttered a string of creative insults to make even the heartiest sailor blush under his breath upon learning he was soloing one of the newer corridors. He ’ d have one of the new guys putting in shoring beams behind him, but he was in charge of excavating it. 
 
 As the miners filed out, grabbing their implements, Rod grabbed a jackhammer and headed into his tunnel. The small thing had already been dug in a fair deal, so he had a few minutes ’ walk before hitting rock. He was beginning to rev the hammer up, when he noticed it. 
 
 “ What in the-? ” Rod muttered, putting the jackhammer down. He grabbed a light and shined it to the wall, revealing what was indisputably a wooden door, stained a dark brown, embedded in the rock. The door looked like it had just come off the showroom floor of the door shop or wherever it is they sell doors. Rod poked it. Yep, it was a door. 
 
 “ Hey, Jimmy, come ‘ ere and check this out. ” Rod said into his radio. A few minutes later, Jimmy came down the corridor and saw it instantly. 
 
 “ What the fuck is this doin ’ here? ” Jimmy asked. 
 
 “ Your guess is jus ’ about as good as mine. ” Rod replied. 
 
 “ Did ya go in? ” Jimmy asked. 
 
 “ You fucking kidding me? ” 
 
 “ You wan na? ” 
 
 “ Well, of course I wan na, but I ’ m not gon na because who knows what the fuck is behind that thing. ” 
 
 “ We might as well check it out. ” Jimmy said, reaching for the doorknob. Rod would ’ ve protested, but he wanted to see what was behind it. Jimmy twisted the knob and opened the door, revealing… nothing. IT was literally just a pure black void. 
 
 “ What? ” Rod muttered, poking it. The blackness swallowed his finger, and when he pulled it out, it came back unaltered. 
 
 “ This is weird. ” Jimmy said, grabbing a light. He poked the light in, and the part of the light that went in just stopped emitting light. When it came back out, the half of the light that had gone in was still not emitting light. Jimmy smacked it against his palm a few times; nothing. 
 
 “ This is too weird. ” Rod said, moving to close the door. Just a moment before the door closed, a black hand snapped out, holding the door open. 
 
 “ Thank you gentlemen, for freeing me and mine. ” A voice sounding almost like a Victorian gentleman stated. The hand shoved the door back open, revealing a black arm extending from the darkness inside. “ Now we can repay the favor. ” 
 
 Neither of them felt any pain. The rest of the mining crew, however, were not nearly as lucky.
