The perils of living near a railway

I think I need to get out for a few hours. There are large numbers of workmen laying new track on the Hammersmith and City line right opposite my house, and whatever machine they're using is loud enough to do my head in. The Crossrail tunnel construction beyond that is actually quiet by comparison.

Stunning!

I felt that an SF setting ought to have a stun gun, even if it isn't quite Weinbaum canon. This is bits of various things including a gun, a trumpet, a radio valve and a gas cylinder, think it works quite well.



I've given it hundreds of shots and said it only causes epileptic fits or concussion occasionally, ought to cause a reasonable amount of trouble...
