Introduction Yesterday I had to go to Scotland, but this could have been inspired by any public service journey. At every stop, the announcement was made and my mind twisted it into this story. The other thing was that so many people were glued to their mobile devices, which is not always a bad thing, unless the device is the nearest thing that they have to a friend.

Everyone had heard of the throne, but very few people had ever seen it. The Woodland Seat was something of a local legend. If you follow the river into the woods, turn east at the huge rubber tree at the fork, walk into the setting sun, you will come to the devil's clearing. In the clearing, a place where nothing is said to grow sits a chair of stone. If you sit on the chair, you will be cursed by the devil himself for all time.

In the dim haze of consciousness, Alex found himself blinking against the sterile, fluorescent light of an airport terminal, one that was eerily silent and seemingly devoid of life. The usual cacophony of announcements, the shuffle of feet, and the distant roar of airplanes were conspicuously absent. As his eyes adjusted, Alex realized he was sitting in a departure lounge, but it was unlike any he had ever seen. The chairs were outdated, the walls bore a faded hue of yellow, and the departure screens flickered with unintelligible symbols.
