Revelations
Chapter 1
Colin Mallory was eager to leave the world he had landed on several hours ago. He landed in an unpleasant section of the world where no civilization could be seen. He had been doing nothing but wandering aimlessly, there was no certain direction he could move in. Colin could do nothing but wait for the pull that seemed to come from no where to grow strong enough that he could travel to the next universe.
When Colin lands on a world, there is a constant pull on him that doesn't seem to come from any direction. Colin does not fully understand the condition he is in but has theories of how it works. For a reason unknown to Colin he does not have the power to stay on one world. His body is always trying to move to the next world. From speaking with his brother, Quinn, before Colin became the way he is, Colin had learned some of the theory behind Sliding. All the different dimensions are in constant movement. The barriers between the different dimensions have weak points. As these weak points between two worlds come closer to alignment the amount of power needed to travel between them becomes less. As this happens, Colin theorized that the pull on him becomes stronger as it is easier to move to the next dimension. The timer that used to guide Colin's sliding worked similarly. When the weak points of two worlds were close enough together there was a "window of opportunity", this is what the timer was counting down to. If the window was missed the Sliders would need to wait for the next window.
Colin didn't have a countdown but could feel when the his slide was coming. Colin felt it now. To someone watching Colin it would seem as if he just disappeared. But to Colin it felt as if a strong force threw him, then he would be inside the tunnel, the slide. That is where he was now, flying through twists and turns in the tunnel towards his next destination.
