The Porch Swing Portal

An elderly couple's porch swing rocks itself at twilight, depositing sitters on other porches miles away—with no way back until someone else takes their seat. Missing persons pile up on strangers' stoops with lemonade and awkward questions. Map the swing network, rescue the trapped, or sell passage to smugglers who love a lazy entrance.
