Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response: to a parallel world
When he was a kid, Tony always had a fascination with the other side. He’d stare out his window into the night, dreaming of what life might be like on the other side.
One night, Tony finally found the courage to go outside and look. Sure enough, there was a large, dark hole in the ground that led straight to the other side. Tony jumped in without thinking, and found himself in a completely different world.
He was surrounded by towering, imposing structures that looked like they could belong in a medieval castle. There were also strange creatures roaming the landscape, and Tony quickly realized that he was in a completely different world.
Tony didn’t know how to get back home, and he was starting to feel scared. Suddenly, he saw a light in the distance, and he started towards it.
As he got closer, he could see that the light was coming from a large, magical portal. Tony walked through, and was soon back home again. He never wanted to leave again, and he swore that he’d never tell a soul about what he’d seen.
