Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
John was clearing out his attic one day and found a dusty old box. He hadn’t opened it in years, but curiosity got the best of him. He popped the top off and found a few old letters and pictures. One of the pictures caught his eye, it was of a woman he had never seen before. He pulled out the picture and realized that the woman in the picture was him when he was younger. He had never seen the woman in person, but he had a feeling she might be nearby. He tried to Google her name, but it came up blank. He was about to put the picture back when he noticed a tiny crack in the photo. He carefully pushed it towards the crack and it opened t0 reveal a hidden door. John stepped through and found himself in another world. He found the woman he had seen in the picture and they began to talk. It turned out that she was a witch and she told him that she had been waiting for him. She offered to take him to her world and he agreed. The journey was exciting and they arrived safely. John was amazed by the beauty of the witches’ world and he never wanted to return to the mundane one.
