      About the Author

      PART I:

      FRANK LYON INVENTS THE TRANSPORTING DEVICE

      Frank leaves a message with the authorities, shifting his voice, much colder and lower in register: I am a prominent businessman. I will make this message short so that you cannot trace it. I have left two million dollars in a locker at the Dulles airport in DC. You will get the key by courier in an envelope with a note indicating the locker number. I will watch the news tomorrow to see if the Terrorist Group has received their monies. And they better have released the passengers from Flight 363… or else…. Thank you.

      Thirteen months previous, Science Professor Frank Lyon was in his final stage of glory, having completed his grand and majestic invention. He had spent several years on creating a portable camera device that was the only one of its kind. It was a Transporting tool. He called it Brigid. Brigid, a machine, or more like a clone-cam, stores images in the memory of a chip that transfers you to wherever you desire to go, as long as the data is an image of a landscape or locale stored inside the device. Brigid helps you travel, without cost, passports, security, long lines and countless other pains. Call it a marriage of technology and sainthood, as St. Brigid was one of the noted Patron Saints of Travel. Frank presses his thumb on the electronic pad of the device, and the image transmigrates into a same time, life-sized experience, in a place other than where you began.

      The first time, he succeeded in making this experimental dream come true; he could not speak for weeks. The elation was simply overwhelming. It was beyond Science Fiction, because it was happening in the dreariness of the here and now. Like the walking dead, Frank had functioned with mediocre purpose. His heart was ailing from having lost his dearly departed wife Brigid
