Afternoon all
Well, this was a short story i read 15 odd years ago in school.
Stuff i remember…
the main character discovered a way to leave your body, something to do with walking a straight line?
soon everyone was doing it
your body continued to walk while you were seperate from it, at one point Someone’s body ended up walking into a lake/pond while they were out of it.
Sorry that’s about it, i tried googling the keyword but got lots of sites about astral projection.
Anyone remember this one?
thanks in advance

If it’s the story I vaguely remember, I think it’s by Kurt Vonnegut. Maybe from Welcome to the Monkey House?
Definitely Vonnegut. I think the title is “Unready to Wear.”
cheers jr8

(and it’s reminded me of the story ‘Harrison Bergeron’
which is superb!)
and thanks RealityChuck too
i love this board!
I’ll have to get into Vonnegut again. I remember reading his stories a few years back and really liking them.
SF with a message, and very well-written.
