Beyond the Portal

Unleashing the Horrors of the Dark World

By Arsham AfzalPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, there was a man named David. He lived in a small town on the outskirts of the city, and he was a quiet, reserved person who kept to himself. He didn't have many friends, and he spent most of his time alone.

However, David had a secret. He had stumbled upon a magical portal that allowed him to communicate with the dark world and its creatures. At first, he was hesitant to use the portal. He didn't know what kind of creatures lived in the dark world, and he didn't want to get in trouble.

But as time went on, David's curiosity got the better of him. He started experimenting with the portal, testing its limits and exploring the dark world beyond. He discovered that he could summon creatures from the dark world to do his bidding.

At first, David only used the portal to ask the creatures questions. He was fascinated by their knowledge of the universe and their strange, otherworldly perspective on life. But as time went on, he began to use the portal for more nefarious purposes.

One day, David got into an argument with his ex-girlfriend. She had cheated on him, and he was still bitter about it. As they argued, David's anger boiled over. He decided that he wanted revenge.

He summoned a creature from the dark world and asked it to help him get rid of his ex-girlfriend. The creature agreed, and soon, David found himself with the power to take revenge on anyone he wanted.

Using the portal, David would summon the creatures from the dark world to do his bidding. They were all too happy to oblige, eager to carry out their twisted desires in the mortal realm.

David became obsessed with the power that the portal gave him. He started targeting people who had done nothing to him, simply because he could. The creatures from the dark world became his minions, doing his bidding without question.

As the weeks went by, the people in the town began to notice that something was wrong. They had heard rumors about strange happenings at David's house, and they started to suspect that something sinister was going on.

The police began to investigate the string of murders that had been happening in the town. They had no suspects and no leads, but they were determined to find the killer.

Meanwhile, David was becoming increasingly paranoid. He knew that the police were closing in on him, and he was desperate to keep his secret safe. He started to become more and more reckless, using the portal to summon creatures at all hours of the day and night.

One night, David was in the middle of a summoning when he heard a knock at the door. He froze, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that it was the police.

He hurried to the portal and tried to close it, but it was too late. The police burst into the room, guns drawn. They arrested David on the spot and took him away.

David was sentenced to life in prison for his crimes. He never saw the portal again, but he could still hear the whispers of the creatures from the dark world, tempting him to take revenge on those who had wronged him.

As the years went by, the people in the town began to forget about David and the horrors that he had brought upon them. But deep down, they knew that something evil had once lived among them, waiting in the shadows to strike again.
