Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
At thirty-six years old, Jeff had everything he ever wanted. He was a successful attorney with a beautiful wife and two healthy children. But one day, Jeff’s life changed when he discovered a portal in his home that led to a strange and wondrous world.
Jeff discovered that he could travel through the portal to different worlds, each with its own unique set of rules and customs. In one world, he found himself as a giant in a world of tiny people. He also got to experience life as a lion, a snake, and even a fairy princess.
Although Jeff initially enjoyed exploring the different worlds, he eventually grew bored with them and decided to return home. Upon returning, he found that his wife and children had changed since he last saw them. They now seemed far less happy and were no longer the same people he had married. Jeff began to worry that he had made a mistake in leaving his life behind.
