Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
Kyle had always been a little curious about the world beyond his small town. He had never ventured too far from home, but the lure of exploring new territory was too strong.
One day, as he was walking along the edge of town, he found a strange portal leading to a different world. As he stepped through, he was surprised to find that he was now in a strange forest. The trees were enormous and the ground was covered in lush grass.
He began to wander around, exploring the new place. As he walked, he noticed that the leaves of the trees were turning a beautiful pink color. He stopped to look at one, and as he did, he was suddenly struck by a bolt of light.
When he awoke, he found himself on the other side of the portal, back in his own town. He was a little bit confused, but he figured that it must have been just a dream. He was about to walk back through the portal when he suddenly remembered his dad mentioning that there was a strange portal in town that sometimes led to other worlds.
He was excited to find out more about this new world, and he planned to explore it more in the future.
