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

Tommy was just about to give up on his life. He had been struggling to get by for years, and things had only gotten worse since his wife died a few years ago. He had been living in a rundown apartment, and the only thing that kept him going was the hope that he would one day find a better life. Then one day, he discovered a portal that led to a alternate world.

At first, Tommy was sceptical. But after he explored the world a little, he started to believe that this was really the promised land. He started to make some changes in his life, and eventually he was able to get his life back on track. He is now a successful businessman, and he is finally able to live the life he always dreamed of.
