Right now I'm exploring the mystery of the doorless skeleton key.

I'm searching for clues... Hmm. Well since the key is rather rusty, the door would be well-covered in vines and leaves and maybe even a tree or two.
We have an old fountain with a little boy spurting water out of his... mouth hopefully... but it broke down before we came here. Maybe if I press the right places, it'll open to a door that only this key unlocks!
Wow, what if some bad person is searching for this key because he wants to open that door that leads to a portal that goes to a magical land that he wants to unlock!!!!
Or maybe, like in Harry Potter, if I tap the bricks right, it'll open to a totally different world!
All of these overturned pots... Maybe they're clues to how I should tap the bricks or press the right places or just clues to where the door could be!

We have some stepping stones as well that go over some dirt and lead to the shed, the fountain, and the way back part of the garden that has the kind of beat-up wooden structure of the place where people have in wine vinyards with the wooden beams going up and then over and...

Maybe if I hop on the stones right a door will open at the back area. It IS quite empty. It must serve some sort of purpose.
Also, there's that reflection of water on the bricks, but there's no water. If there were, the water would be under the stepping stones.
Maybe, just maybe, when I open the door the water DOES come! Maybe the water is consecrated and if you touch it something happens. Maybe you're enlightened - or maybe you boil to death for invading upon and poisoning and polluting a holy space.
Maybe the world past the stepping stones is magical! Maybe it's in trouble, and needs help, or maybe it's like Alice in Wonderland! Or maybe, like in Spirited Away, it's the Spirit World past the steps!
So many possibilities, and nowhere to put them!!
