Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
Jeffrey looked around the lobby of the office building he was visiting, feeling out of place. He had just started a new job, and was feeling a bit lost in his new surroundings. He had seen the sign for the conference room and decided to take a look, thinking he might meet some of his co-workers.
He walked in and saw the dozen or so people in the room, most of whom he didn’t know. He started to feel a bit out of place, realizing he didn’t have any idea how to introduce himself. Suddenly, he noticed the large, imposing figure of a man in the corner of the room. Jeffrey walked over to introduce himself, but the man didn’t seem to notice him.
Jeffrey looked closer and saw that the man was looking at a large, ornate doorway in the corner of the room. Suddenly, the man disappeared and the door opened, revealing a magical portal. Jeffrey knew he had to take a chance and walk through the door.
He found himself in a beautiful forest, with a clear, blue sky overhead. He felt a sense of peace and contentment, and knew he had found his new home.
