  Gun For Hire by Mack Reynolds - A gun is an interesting weapon; it can be hired, of course, and naturally doesn't care who hires it. Something much the same can be said of the gunman, too... 
  Joe Prantera called softly, "Al." The pleasurable, comfortable, warm feeling began spreading over him, the way it always did. 
  The older man stopped and squinted, but not suspiciously, even now. 
  The evening was dark, it was unlikely that the other even saw the circle of steel that was the mouth of the shotgun barrel, now resting on the car's window ledge. 
  "Who's it?" he growled. 
  Joe Prantera said softly, "Big Louis sent me, Al." 
  And he pressed the trigger. 
  And at that moment, the universe caved inward upon Joseph Marie Prantera. 
  There was nausea and nausea upon nausea. 
  There was a falling through all space and through all time. There was doubling and twisting and twitching of every muscle and nerve. 
  There was pain, horror and tumultuous fear. 
  And he came out of it as quickly and completely as he'd gone in. 
  He was in, he thought, a hospital and his first reaction was to think, This here California. Everything different. Then his second thought was Something went wrong. Big Louis, he ain't going to like this. 
  He brought his thinking to the present. So far as he could remember, he hadn't completely pulled the trigger. That at least meant that whatever the rap was it wouldn't be too tough. With luck, the syndicate would get him off with a couple of years at Quentin. 
  A door slid open in the wall in a way that Joe had never seen a door operate before. This here California. 
  The clothes on the newcomer were wrong, too. For the first time, Joe Prantera began to sense an alienness—a something that was awfully wrong.

  This collection of Christmas nursery rhymes, complete with book cover images, and accompanying opening/closing song and background music, is designed to be a comprehensive and immersive holiday experience for children and families. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to capture the magic, wonder, and diverse traditions of the Christmas season in a format that is both engaging and accessible to young minds, particularly those aged six to eight. 
  The intent behind this collection is multifaceted. First, it seeks to provide a fresh and original source of festive storytelling that goes beyond the classic carols and rhymes. By introducing new characters, such as (in later collections) the Christmas starfish and the caroling mice, alongside beloved figures like Santa Claus and the Nutcracker, the collection aims to spark children's imaginations and create new holiday traditions. The rhymes are crafted to be easily readable and memorable, with rhythmic verses that support early literacy skills and a love for poetry. 
  Furthermore, the collection is designed to be a versatile resource for parents and educators. These shorter rhymes are perfect for recitation and memorization and offer narratives for bedtime stories or classroom reading. The inclusion of opening and closing songs transforms the book into a potential musical or theatrical production, encouraging creative expression and performance.
