With a rumbling sound something arrives in front of the house.
It’s a man, riding some sort of cream coloured two wheel machine. He’s dressed in a heavy brown leather jacket ands has some strange glasses with the lenses mounted on leather and strapped around his head with a sort of rubber band.
There’s a scabbard on the side of his bike with a lever rifle in it, it looks like a Winchester 1885 but it’s smaller. Strapped to his waist is a wooden holster with a strange grip that looks kind of the end of a broomstick sticking out of it.
The stranger raises his glasses to his forehead and hollers Howdy! To everybody.
Everybody looks back at him as if had come out of a horror novel.
Feeling kind of uncomfortable, the man pulls his goggles back on, hollers Bye! To everybody turns his machine around and disappears in a cloud of dust.
At a safe distance, out of sight, the man stops his machine pulls out a pocket watch and speaks into it.
Scattered Thumbs calling time control do you read me?
Yeah! We ear you. What’s up?
What’s the time frame of the Dismal file?
1880s, Why?
Well, you folks sent me in to investigate time disturbances in this area like the sighting of helicopters, at least one airplane and flying saucers. Riding a 1909 Harley Davidson, dressed in leather and armed with an 1892 Winchester and an 1896 Broomhandle that’s why.
Who’s in charge of props for this one?
Let’s see. John Ford XXII
Him!? Again!
Just because his ancestor made Westerns that don’t mean he’s an expert. I have to leave the scene. I’ll go to point X23 for retrieval. I can’t stay in the area now.
O.K. we’ll pick you up.
After this conversation, the stranger rides away and disappears in the distance.
