No Escape From Paradise

* Satire Short Story!
Manuel was a Research & Development scientist who lived in a futuristic society where everything was handed to him. There were no more challenges. There were no more barriers to break. Utopia was a curse. No one broke the law anymore. Locks were a thing of the past. Life was boring.
Then one day Manuel made a terrific discovery. His cybernetic home office was alive. The artificial intelligence was reading his mind. The computerized persona of his faithful butler could anticipate his every desire.
Plus the computer that controlled his home had created a worm hole for him to travel through. Science had somehow created two magical portals that allowed him to teleport from the front of the house to the rear of the house and then back again. He was trapped, but he did not care. Everything that he ever wanted was already there.
Manuel knew that if he could harness this new power, he would be labeled the newest god of the academic realm. He told no one of his discovery. His friends and neighbors visited often, but he stayed mum about his latest experiments with translating himself across space.
