[QUOTE="Frostmarrow, post: 2175573, member: 1122"] Does anyone remember the old King short story Granting? It deals with teleportation in the shortcut through a parallell dimension sense rather than the get destroyed and reassembled way. It's very cool. It's about the father of a family who meticulously explains to his family about the history of Granting. He even mentions the you have to be sedated to go Granting else you risk witnessing the actual journey, somthing that'll drive you mad and kill you. Anyway, good story. I once read a short story about a boy in the future who refuses to use the teleportation portals that can be found everywhere. His teachers and parents are troubled by this because you must use the portals - all normal people do. It turns out the boy once witnessed a power outage and raised the question: "What happens if you have a power outage in the middle of a teleport jump?". [/QUOTE]
