Towards the end of Sandman, we find the inn called the Worlds' End, where wandering travellers from many worlds take shelter from a storm across the realities, and swap strange stories to pass the time. And then they travel on afterwards to wherever it might be that they were going. And occasionally some stay on, between the worlds.

Six issues we pass there, and the whole thing hardly advances the plot at all, but they're some of the most wonderful tales of strange fantasy you'll ever find in comics.

If I could write I would do something with Piano Man, but I’m not very good at it. (The song came up when reading the comments, and I think it fits)

So you're saying you're not really sure how it goes?

What? I know the song relatively well, but the main problem is I don’t know how to write a story. (Especially dialogue, which is often the most important part of a story)

They were trying to make a joke using a lyric from the song. "Son, can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes."

That makes sense. I thought they misread my comment as I didn’t know how the song went, instead of me being bad with writing.

“You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter
 The Scary Door.”

Except for the "Staying safe of other things" part this could be the "Imaginary Number School District" in To Aru.

Also known as the "Ith School District", "City of Shimmers" or "Mirage City"

Surprised no one mentioned Tanelorn, the Eternal City in Michael Moorcock’s Multiverse that includes Eternal Champions like Elric of MelnibonĂ©.

This prompt reminds me of the subreddit “the crossroads” it something like this?
