The Porta Alchemica

Jenn’s vacation to Italy is marred only by her boyfriend’s peculiar behavior. Not that this is anything new...Tomasz regularly stops in mid-conversation, stares off into space for a while, then furiously writes things down in the notebook he always has with him. He claims he’s writing a novel, but the arcane-looking pictures he draws don’t fit his explanation. Jenn finally learns what he’s really been doing when they visit the Porta Alchemica in Rome, and the statues guarding the door begin to move on their own.
