Here's my entry!
Vector Smoot didn't pay much attention in science class in high school. Yet when he finds himself spontaneously teleporting after a group of four men tried to rob him at gunpoint, he wishes he could understand more about the science of what's happening to him. And after teleporting the first time, he can't seem to stop. He loses cohesion at the worst possible times, including in the middle of a conversation with the police about the bizarre robbery attempt he escaped. Now, on top of worrying about how to control his teleportation lest he find himself randomly appearing in the middle of an ocean or inside an active volcano, the government is also after him. Everyone wants to understand the mysterious Vector Smoot, but none so much as Vector himself.
I want to teleport, but I want control as well!
ReplyDeleteI am curious about Mr. Smoot as well. I think teleportation would be a cool power to have. I hate to drive.
ReplyDeleteHa! His name is Vector??? I love it. And I second Alex: I definitely want teleporting powers that I control!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read more about Vector, and I love his name too!
ReplyDeletePoor guy! . Great entry, I wanted to read more.
ReplyDeleteThe thrill of teleportation told in an amusing but short antidote that gets all the points across! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe name Vector Smoot fits well with this thrilling teleportation excerpt!

This reminds me of my favorite books Jumper. It sounds like an awesome read.
ReplyDeleteGreat premise! I've always been fascinated by teleportation, and kind of sad that we probably won't have the ability to do it within my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteI'd find it hard to quit teleporting, too. What fun that'd be.
ReplyDeletethats quite a thrilling blurb! no wonder everyone is after him! he's got a cool power! he just needs to find out how to control it! love it!
ReplyDeleteTeleporting would certainly be a thrill! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! This does sound like a THRILL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!
