Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
Matt was enjoying his Saturday morning by reading the morning news on his iPad when he heard a strange noise outside. He got up and went to the window to see a man on his knees, with his face in the ground. Matt assumed he was having a seizure or something and went back to bed. A few minutes later, the noise outside recommenced and Matt got up again to see the same man on the ground. This time, he saw something coming out of the man’s mouth – a stream of blue light. Matt didn’t know what to do, so he just watched as the light disappeared through the ground and disappeared. This isn’t the first time Matt has seen something strange happen in his neighborhood. A few weeks ago, he saw a woman levitating in the street. But the thing that really freaked him out was when he saw a man turn into a plant – he still can’t get that image out of his head.
