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

Allison was just about to finish his shift at the local grocery store when he heard a commotion coming from the back of the store. He peered around the corner to see a group of teenagers arguing, and he could tell that one of them was upset. Allison approached the group and asked them what was going on. One of the teenagers, a girl named Julie, told Allison that she had found a magical portal and that she wanted to go through it. Allison was skeptical, but he decided to take Julie into his custody and see if she was telling the truth. Once they were inside the portal, Allison could see that it led to a fantastical world full of magic and adventure. Julie urged Allison to follow her, and he soon found himself in the middle of a battle between good and evil. He was eventually able to defeat the evil forces and bring peace back to the magical world. Allison was grateful for the opportunity to explore the world of magic and adventure, and he decided to stay there for good.
