The Sandskipper

Douglas Byrnes is a mechanical genius-- crazy, some would even say, as if his constant exposure to the sun has baked his brain. Douglas doesn't let such talk get to him, though. He has more important things to do. And besides, who needs friends when you could have a Sandskipper instead? Betty always understands.

 

Douglas found Betty in a dune-whale carcass. Heaven knows how it got there. He managed to winch the back half out of the smilch and retrofit the front half with a solar sail. The old girl's been re-commissioned as his primary transport from town to town. Sure, he turns a few heads when he flies by-- but would it be a signature Byrnes creation if he didn't?
