A portal! Micro-fiction writing contest.
How lovely are the portals of the night, when stars come out to watch the daylight die. Thomas Cole

A portal!
Charles was restless sleeping as he had done the past nights. Your nightmare becomes repetitive. He dreamed that he was on the edge of a precipice and that he was about to fall.
His work as editor of the local newspaper produced a lot of stress during the day since he had to make the decision of the story that he should publish daily.
Lately the sales had diminished and the shareholders of the newspaper were pressuring him to improve the contents of the publication and to increase sales or otherwise he would be fired.
He was not yet able to find a solution to this dilemma.
Suddenly that day woke up and left in his memory the image of a portal to an unknown world. He associated it with a dream analogy for his work with a portal.
So he began to write and publish the story that soon the city would be swallowed up by extraterrestrial entities in secret with the expectation of a better world.
Immediately the billing of the newspaper began to grow because of the controversy over the outcome. The shareholders, observing the increase in sales, decided to increase the circulation.
Thus the readers were finally directed towards the portal of the deepest of their souls since the extraterrestrials are at the bottom of the hearts and do not come from external worlds.
The complete edition was acquired by a renowned publisher spreading the story worldwide.
That year Charles won the award for best editor.

This story really made me smile, @felixgarciap! Also, you are doing great with your storylines. You’ve been adding a conflict that must be resolved by the end of the story, which is a critical element for good fiction. Well done.
