Edwin had always been fascinated by the idea of a portal to other worlds. He’d seen movies and TV shows where people would step through darkened doorways into otherworldly realms full of mystery and adventure.

He saw a bright light ahead and began to walk towards it. As he got closer, he realized that the light was coming from a portal. He stepped through and found himself in a strange, dark world.

Edwin felt as though he had found his true purpose in life; to explore this new world and learn everything he could. He spent hours exploring the portal and the magical world beyond it.
Eventually, he met a woman who told him that he had to leave for fear that he would damage the portal. Edwin was reluctant to leave, but he knew that he had to return to reality.
He walked back through the portal and was amazed at how much he had learned in such a short time. He decided that he would always keep a portal open so that he could explore new worlds whenever he wanted.
