The Portal

This is the story of Robert Pearson’s perilous encounters with a time portal. Robert begins his journeys as a twelve-year-old boy in 1955. During a blizzard, he discovers the portal as a means of escape. The catch is that while the portal saves Robert’s life in different time periods, it also always places him in jeopardy in another.

Whenever Robert enters a new time period, it feels as though he’s lived there all his life; in most of them, he holds a position of authority. It seems that every place the portal transports Robert to is a potential trap. At times, Robert communicates with the portal, which is some kind of entity composed of both energy and matter, fluttering in and out of reality. While the portal never forces Robert to enter, it always leaves him with the same choice: flee or die.

In the hospital, Robert tells everyone about his experiences, but no one believes him. However, the portal has dealt Robert an “Ace” that he doesn’t yet realize he holds.
