Crossing The Brandenburg

It's the later half of the 21st Century, a new method of travel has replaced conventional transportation. The teleporter technology has been improved and teleporters have been mass produced and enacted in most households and almost all enterprises. Carbon emission is being cut down dramatically, due to the popularity of teleporters and the heavily sanctioned policies mandating the use of internal combustion engines. Society is now clean, efficient and comfortable for the better. Thomas Finley leads an ordinary but above average lifestyle, with a very steady job right on the cusp of a big break and an effortlessly comfortable living scenario. What could go wrong with sticking to that routine?

I've written this in the beginning of 2017. This was my first attempt at a science fiction story.
