Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
When Trent opened his front door one morning, he was surprised to find an old wand sitting on the porch. He had never seen it before, but he knew it must have come from his childhood because his parents always kept a close eye on their collection of magical artifacts. Trent picked it up and was immediately overcome with a feeling of excitement. He had never felt this way about any of his other collectibles.
Trent started to explore the portal more and more, and before he knew it, he was spending all his free time in front of it. He learned that the portal led to different worlds, each with its own unique magic and creatures. Trent was hooked on the adventure and the treasure that lay waiting for him on each new world.
One day, Trent finally discovered the biggest treasure of all: an artifact that could allow him to enter the ultimate magic world. He was determined to get his hands on it, no matter what consequences might follow.
