Tales of Interdimensional Travel
Here's one story:
On a seemingly normal day in 1954, a seemingly normal man allegedly flew into Tokyo, but upon landing at the Tokyo International Airport, his seemingly normal trip had taken a very drastic turn for the weird. When he handed over his passport to be stamped, the man was immediately interrogated as to the whereabouts of his origins. It wasn’t a case of racial profiling: While his passport looked authentic, it listed a country no one had ever heard of called Taured.
The mystery man claimed his country was located between France and Spain, but when he was asked to point it out on a map, he pointed to the Principality of Andorra. Insisting he had never heard of Andorra and that Taured had existed for 1,000 years, he claimed that he was in Japan on business, something he had been doing for the past five years. His passport seemed to back up his story, as it was covered in previous customs and visa stamps, and he carried with him legal currency from several European countries. He even had a driver’s license issued by the mysterious country and a checkbook containing checks from an unknown bank.
After more interrogation and confusion for both parties, the traveler was sent to a nearby hotel until an official decision could be reached. There, two immigration officials stood outside the hotel door until morning. It was then that they discovered the mystery man had vanished without a trace, which was troubling, since the only possible exit was a window with no ledge 15 stories above a busy street. The Tokyo police department conducted an extensive search but continually came up empty-handed. Hopefully, if he really was from a parallel Earth, he was able to find a way back to the comforts of his home in Taured.

Cute. More of a Sports Bar thread.
Motown had posted a link to some stories where people "jumped time". Often just a minute or two. But those were interesting too.

Reminds me of the scariest 2 sentence story:
Quote:"Knock"
-The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door...-

I don't like the Sports Bar, I changed the title to show it's an off topic subject. It's just a break from politics.

I'm sure in one of the other dimensions/universes I'm a right-wing radical.

All the other forums seem to be ran by sensitive mods so I stick to the Spin Room only. The only time I came close to getting banned was when I laughed at Auburn for losing to FSU in the BCSNC. I don't care for oversensitive people so I avoid the forums they moderate.
