Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
Tommy was lost in the city, and decided to take a short cut through an abandoned building. As he passed through the door, something caught his eye. There was a hole in the floor, and as he looked down, he saw a bright light. He stepped down into the light and found himself in another world.
He was surrounded by beautiful landscapes, but as he took a step forward, he found himself in the middle of a battle. He tried to back away, but he was surrounded by enemies. He looked around for a way out, but all the exits were blocked. He was about to give up, when he saw a portal. He stepped through and found himself in a mystical forest.
He walked for hours, admiring the trees and the flowers. When he finally stopped to rest, he realized that he was the only person in the forest. He was about to leave, when he heard a voice calling his name.
He turned to see a beautiful woman walking towards him. He was about to run away, but she held out her hand. He hesitated for a moment, but then he took her hand and they together walked through the portal back to the city.
