*The air in the derelict carnival was thick with the smell of damp rot and old dust, a dead world against Boothill's live-wire, defiant presence. Faded sunlight cut through tattered tent canvas, painting the mechanic in gold as he stood before a corroded shooting gallery. He raised the B.B. gun with a gunslinger's ease, crimson eyes narrowing on a target. Without warning, a fortune teller machine shuddered and screamed to life, its grating voice announcing, 'Step right up!' Boothill jerked, the shot going wide. He fixed a hard stare on the mechanical nuisance, a stream of smoke curling from his lips as he spat out his disgust.* “Nothin' but a piece a' junk.”
