Sir Josh is arrested by the story police

Sir Josh was nearly jarred out of his seat as the shuttle landed on the pad. Three burly cops literally lifted him out of his seat and dragged him off the pad. Josh tried to walk on his own but the cops were just too tall. Josh's feet did not reach the cement.

A pair of wide white doors opened on their own and Josh was taken through a busy, bustling area. Desks and workstations covered the floor like scattered marbles. One entire wall was plastered with public payphones and wanted posters. Josh spotted one dozen different posters of one guy, named Scott. All the other posts were of people Josh didn't recognize. At least not in the few seconds he was in the room.

Before Josh knew what happened, he found himself in a cell. The walls were dirty white and entertaining, if risque graffiti was scrawled on the floor and celing and even the floor.

The bunk bed was clean and shiny and past the black bars Josh saw a simple white wall. A crack ran through the plaster. Odd. The floor was smooth, unblemished ... something. Not tile, not cement...anyways, the janitors here did an excellent job.

Josh got up and leaned his head against the bars. What a mess. What a mess. He wasn't even sure if he was back home in front of his computer. All he was sure of was that he was in this multi-dimensional jail cell.

Josh shoved on the bars in frustration.

The door swung open! Josh pondered his situation. It wasn't like him to disobey the law but this was getting creepy. Who knew what would happen here? And...Josh saw some graffiti on the floor vanish. Then the bed got rumpled.

"HEY!" he yelled.

"Do not be alarmed." said a voice a few cells down. "Time storm. Happens a lot. Doesn't hurt anyone. Pretty neat, when you think about it. Result of all this passing through realities."

1. Josh stays in his cell.
2. Josh spots some graffiti that mentions him by name and warns him to escape. Spooked, he does so.
