Critter's Eye ViewBodie, CA The critter scuttled onto the middle of the old sidewalk, looked up and stood up as tall as it could, stretching... stretching.... Damn.

The Ghost Car Taxi Of Interdimensional TravelDeath Valley, CA

It was a beater, no doubt. It had taken some hits. Sported a few bullet holes. Steering wheel? Pfft! Who needs it? "Gentleman Function"? Oh please, just sit on the OTHER spring.

Atmospheric pressure built... a quick ripping sound and... ZIP! Gone.
The Ghost Car Taxi of Interdimensional Travel (GCTIT) had a fare to make.
