Magic Eyes

Written in response to: "Write a story about someone who finds a magical portal in their home. "

Fantasy

In the days when time was being questioned and the peoples were not to be out and about due

to the pandemic they were all living. Some questioned whether it was a time when humans had

become the middleman between good and evil, as if they had become sandwiched between

Christ and the antichrist was under statement.

One of those humans was a young female named Abagail. Abagail was a free spirit who was

strong in her beliefs and loved living. She was a God Loving soul whose thoughts were always

seeing good in the midst of her life. She was pure and simple, her mind was opened to what

the universe had to offer in-sight and feeling. As she laid down in the darkness to end the day

at peace in preparation for the upcoming morning, there was a light that had caught her

attention out of the corner of her eye.

Abagail then turned her attention to the area that she first saw the light. She became intrigued

with this light and wanted to know more. The light was now enlarging and glowing all the while

with the colors of white and gold illuminating her room with a radius by now at least 50 feet from

top to bottom. She thought to herself “Should I be afraid?”, but she realized she was not afraid,

she was excited and wanted to know more and especially wanted to know the way the light

made her feel pure and calm amongst this rare bizarre happening. She thought to herself

perhaps she was experiencing an angelic presence of love, which is something she had never

had with the people she was involved with on a day to day. This glowing portal displayed the

soft sounds of a harp , so the sight and sound was inviting enough that she set up in her bed

and walked towards the beaming light and when she was close enough she stretched out her

arm to make contact.

Now after making contact with this magical music playing portal she began to see visions of her

life and the life of others as well, as if the realm was showing her movie clips of their lives.

However these short movie scenes had not taken place, but she knew it was her in the “now”

times. As she stared into this glowing show of movie reels, she laughed and was eager to see

more, to see what was next, maybe it would reveal when exactly all these fun loving moments

are going to take place. And as she had these thoughts without speaking out loud, the glowing

portal spoke in response to her thoughts and replied with the voice of Abagail and it said to her

“Soon and now”. Abagail was very happy and continued to smile and giggle so much that she

lost her footing and fell into the glowing image.

The glowing image started to conform and take shape to her body becoming one with her, as

she was now the white gold magical portal. Not realizing what happened, she began to search

around the room for the portal that had been right in front of her, the glow, the light where had it

disappeared too. This peaceful fun light brought her a sense of love and she wanted so much to

see it again. It saddened her inside but all she could do was accept the encounter of the

outreach from a higher energy form. Abagail began to have tears in her eyes, tears of joy and sadness but also tears of “Thank you’s” for revealing these images , she felt special.


Wiping the tears away, and getting ready for bed again, she first turned on the lamp. After

doing this, she then saw the white light again out of the corner of her eye. Filled with

excitement, she turned in that direction but the glowing portal was not there. She loved the

thought of knowing what her future would be like and wanted so much to have the ability to

always see it in that light. Abagail shrugged off the disappointment of the moment of the close

connection with perhaps an angel filled meeting and was grateful she did have the experience.

Just before laying back down in her bed, she looked in her mirror to wipe her watery eyes and

there she saw the magic white glowing image was now in her eyes, she now had the eyes of the

magic portal.

Upon seeing the light in her eyes, she was surprised and very happy and quite giggly with what

had just happened. As she laughed out loud the magic portal became a realm again, only this

time the images displayed were ignited through her eyes, and she started to see her future in

the light again. She could see herself loving and being loved in the arms of her husband.

Abagail always knew that she would marry, she just did not know when the time would come to

pass and she knows the time is now.

As Abagail was taking this new fulfillment she had with the universe of angels she felt complete

peace in her body. She was so excited, there was no way that she way going to be able to

sleep now. She could not wait to see the whole story, as if she had no worries about the things

that had gone wrong in life, the hurts and the unexpected pain and sufferings she endured

because of ugly hearted people. But just then another vision xrayed out of her eyes and began

showing yet another vision, only this time it was not a happy sight. She could not believe what

her eyes were showing her, this vision had been in a time of her life she had already

experienced and it caused her a great deal of sadness. Abagail began to cry more and more,

and the white glowing portal was only showing all these different times of betrayal and deceit.

She shouted out “Stop this right now”.

At that very moment she heard her front door close. She knew it was time for her boyfriend to

be arriving at their house and she immediately felt relieved and happy to know he was home.

Just then the white glowing portal began to reflect the joyous times on the horizon for her. In

that short time she knew that her emotions she felt would trigger the portal for good visions or

bad ones.

Abagail acknowledged her happy thoughts were now the future she could see through the magical eyes.

Unique form of writing forced me to pay attention to details. The development was adequate and believable.
