Prompt: Write a short story about a man who discovers a magical portal
Response:
John had always been a curious person, and when he was just out of college, he decided to take a year off to travel the world. He was on his way to Asia when he stopped in Europe for a couple of weeks. One night, while he was out walking around town, he found himself in front of a old church. As he walked through the doors, he found himself in a new world.
This new world was full of giant creatures and beautiful forests. John was amazed by it all, and he decided to stay for a while. He found a small clearing near the forest and set up his tent. That night, as he was lying in his tent, he heard a voice calling his name. He looked around and saw a beautiful woman standing next to his tent. She told him that she had been looking for him, and that he was supposed to go to her world.
John was a little scared, but he decided to go with her. As they crossed the portal, John felt a sudden sense of warmth. When they arrived in her world, he found himself in a beautiful palace. The woman told him that he was the first human ever to visit her kingdom, and she asked him to stay and help her rule it. John agreed, and he has been living in the palace ever since.
