&ldquo;My dear,<br /> Find what you love and let it kill you.<br /> Let it drain you of your all.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You&#039;re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You&#039;ve just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.
