horizontal portals

A moment’s thought gave me the answer.

Portals were invisible from behind, and nobody ever said they had to be vertical.

I was afraid that the table wouldn’t be able to hold the combined weight of me and the body, and it groaned as I slipped up on it and reached over to lift the body up. It didn’t have to last a long time though.

Forming a portal horizontally was strange, but I did it easily enough. Then I lifted the body and carefully set it down into the other world, closing the gate the moment it was through.
