listen and thought it better to
enjoy life and the vices it brings. It is funny, he thought, that
now he was given the chance to better himself with those three
simple words on the business card he held in his pocket, “knowledge
is power”. Time passes like sand through the hourglass and the day
became night. James walked down the street breathing a sigh of
relief having avoided the local crime gang called the Night
Stalkers. He noticed the sidewalks were empty, with not a soul
around but one, an elderly Native American woman who was dressed in
a large shawl adorned with multicolored feathers. The wrinkles on
her faced displayed wisdom beyond years. She jingled a hand-made
necklace made of turquoise colored beads, bits of straw, and a
green pendant shaped like a pentagon at the end of it. She glanced
at him as he walked by.
    “ The strength of the
spirituals is with you,” she said extending the pendant to him but
he avoided contact and kept walking.
    “ Maybe later” he nodded
with a grimace as her voice echoed in the distances of his mind as
he continued walking by thinking, “ what a
nut case .” He suddenly felt a shiver, as a
gust of unexplainable wind permeated the air around him. He turned
with a sudden jolt as he remained in awe to learn no one was there.
“What the heck…” He turned and kept walking.
    James arrived at a rundown alleyway
near an apartment building in the center of downtown Chronix Bay.
He used to reside in the building but was evicted two weeks ago
because he couldn’t pay the rent. He has been staying in the
alleyway every night telling himself it was only temporary until he
found a job to get back on his feet. As the dusk began to roll over
the skies above, he decided to settle in for a good night’s sleep
at the location near his former home.
    The next morning he was awoken by a
loud banging on the front door of the building of his former
residence. He struggled to get up to get out of the alleyway and to
the front door of the building to see what was going on and who it
could be. He saw no one by the time he arrived. He looked at the
door instantaneously and found a stack of papers tacked to the
front door. “Notice of Eviction”, the papers read. ”Someone else’s
misfortune” he muttered as he shook his head, thinking that the
city’s homeless population was going to increase. He crawled back
into the alleyway and went to sleep.
    Hours later in the same morning, he
was awoken by another loud noise. He struggled to get up to get to
his feet, and minutes later he heard a series of sirens in the
distance. Then gunshots pierced through garbage cans in his
alleyway. “Oh my God!” He ran out and ducked trying to avoid
getting shot or getting arrested.

CHAPTER 11
    “ How does it work?” asked
Sylvia Armstrong, local reporter for Chronix Bay Universal printing
the news and nothing but the news, as their motto displayed on the
side of their building. Sylvia was a tall woman dressed in a royal
blue pants suit and pearls. She pointed to the tall cylindrical
metal object in the center of the crowd.
    “ Well,” said Broad
Staffnight. “I will refer to Mario Preparo who is our lead
scientist on the project and head of Research and Development for
TI. Mario?” Broad gestured to a short balding man in a white coat
nearby, small glasses pressed against his face.
    “ Yes Sir. To answer to the
question posed by the young lady, there are many dimensions that
exist in our definition of space-time, according to the laws of
general relativity and its successor string theory, but we were
previously only aware of part of the story. There are many more.
Modern M theory tells us there are over a dozen dimensions existing
alongside our own three dimensional universe. This device
transposes matter of any kind to the subatomic level and fuses it
to one of these other dimensions, resulting in instantaneous travel
to any point in our three dimensional space by pulling out and
reassembling that
