Trolley and the whole "Kingdom of Make-Believe" thing messed with my mind when I was a kid. It was a crash-course in grasping the concept of parallel realities for me, a subject that I've had "issues" with ever since then.
One of my earliest childhood paranoias was the fear that, every time I turned a corner around a building, I was actually entering an alternate reality that merely looked like home, and the only way to get back was to make sure I turned the corner in the opposite direction some time soon.
Turning corners = Trolley running along that curving track. See the connection?
If I successfully invent a transdimensional-warp cataract projector, I'll have to dedicate it to Fred Rogers— right before the first wave of bloodthirsty demons break into the physical plane.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
