The well stood waiting, pristine, ready. A passage into the beyond; a portal primed and dedicated to its cause. The mystery of its magic drew him to its glistening side and enraptured his stare as musings tumbled in a myriad directions.
Where would this lost vestige of time transport him and what race of people would he encounter after crossing?
A doorway into the past; an entrance into realms unknown; the portal sparkled in the morning light’s splendor, awaiting his decision. Step into the precariously unfamiliar or remain amid the languid familiarity of his present reality.
Smiling, he stepped within.

I love the portal concept for the pool. Water has long been considered a gateway to another realm. It also lends itself to the imagination, welcoming the reader to add more to the story.
Personally, I learn more towards the Fountain of Youth with possible consequences route for the photo.

there are so many paths you could follow. I suggest you take you idea and run with it 🙂 I’d love to see where it leads you. thanks ever so much for reading. I Love the notion of water/ice being a gateway…something I confess I utilize in Dark Fey quite a bit.
