Beschreibung
What if there were a place on earth you could go to where all your problems were solved? What if while there friends and family members who have died would be with you again? What if in this paradise there were no wars, crime, or accidents? If an accident was about to take place, or a person about to die they would be suddenly taken to this place of peace and contentment? What if in this special place there was no hatred, no racism, no disease, not even any pain? Would you want to go there?
If this new life in paradise were suddenly forced upon you if someone else took your power of choice away and sent you there without your consent, would that be OK, since it was for the common good of all humanity?
If one minute you were going about your normal activities and the person or person you loved and cared for the most were suddenly taken from you with no explanation, would that be OK if it was for the common good of all humanity?
In this short story, the above happens to people all over the world. Experience this phenomenon from both sides, the side of those taken and the side of those left. Is the world of virtual reality really the answer to humanity's greatest problems? Perhaps it is not as wonderful as it is advertised to be? Perhaps there are hidden dangers lurking in its makeup? Is there a real paradise somewhere in the universe that will not force itself upon you but allow you to choose to go there?
