Summary
First published in Analog, 1974. A teleportation tale in the vein of "The Alibi Machine." With the advent of instantaneous travel in the form of JumpShift Booths, there's no longer any easy escape from those annoying people we'd much rather avoid. So what's the alternative when they just won't leave you alone no matter where you go?
