Here is the silly story my niece and I came up with for her Gishwhes project. Keep in mind we only had 140 words to work with!! (NOTE: Quaerere Consilium is Latin for Portal Device)

   “Our prayers have been answered!” She exclaimed. “The wizard has come!"
   “I am no wizard.” Misha glanced at his Quaerere Consilium. “Just a traveler from…”
   “Silence!” She ordered. Her mascot, the dreaded Elopus, rose on eight tentacles creeping

   Grinning, he rose, mounted the creature, and touched the Consilium. The room filled with
light, and the two vanished.
   Laughing, the Keeper of the Intergalactic Zoo handed the credit chip to Misha. “We
