Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:

John had always been an inquisitive man, and so when he found a small hole in the ground one day while fishing, he knew he had to investigate. He descended into the hole, and found himself in a strange, dark place. When he tried to leave, he found himself stuck. For a few minutes, he just stood there, trying to figure out what to do, when he heard a voice say, “Welcome to the portal realm.” John couldn’t believe his ears. He had discovered a magical portal! He decided to explore this new world a little more, and soon found that he could travel to different worlds by using the portal. John was amazed by the different ways people lived their lives, and the different creatures he met along the way. He even met a dragon, and was able to ride on its back. John was happy to have discovered this portal, and was grateful to the voice that had called him to it.
