Fred opened the Silver Door and found himself in a great round room. In an
instant, Transversal Shock set in. Fred knew with certainty that the door
he had passed through was som sort of Eienstein-Rosen bridge, a Quantum
Wormhole in the fabric of Spacetime. He gazed about the enormous chamber.
Fred felt that this point in Reality itself was of incredible significance
and began to sweat. The room was filled with people, animals, creatures,
and things. The room itself was elaborate, as if made for the Gods
Themselves. Only one siver door existed in the room, the very door through
which he had entered. In the center of the room was a curious, shining
puddle of light. Suddenly, a young Asian man walked forward and announced
himself. He had been chatting with a man who appeared to be the very image
of James Bond, Ian Fleming's fictional character. The handsome, athletic
man said "Scott! I am glad you are finally here! Now listen, Scott, what
I have to say is very important. My name is Bruce, and... what the hell?
You're not Scott! Who the hell are you?" "My name is Lord Fred," said

within a strange fiction, created by beings beyond our understanding at
present. These beings have so contrived things that a vast number of
Paralell Causal Corridors--"Storylines" if you prefer--have been streaming
across the realm of All Possibility. In my universe, all those Causal
Corridors--save but a few--eventualy meet HERE in this room. This room is
the focus of many Paths through Spacetime. In my reality, that is."
"What's all this stuff about Spacetime and Paralell Causal Corridors, and
how can we be from different Realities? I'm a Medieval Knight. I have
trouble believing that the Earth is Round." "As for the alternate
Realities, think of Reality as a whole as being like the Internet. It
includes many smaller Realities that are linked within themselves--like
internet sites. They sometimes link to other Realities." "Is there an
