So I am driving along as normal minding my own business, as indeed I would be, and suddenly there is this eery silence and then I don't know what. The car goes quiet as the needles fall on all the dials and the car more or less stops. As I pull over, this guy opens my door and asks me to get out so he can look at my dashboard. In a daze, I comply. After sitting briefly in the driver's seat and taking note of the dashboard, the guy leaves as suddenly as he arrived; I think he says "I'm Tom". But that sounds far too benign for the menace in the atmosphere. I get back in the car and it's then that I notice the numbers on the odometer and the trip meter . . . I look up to see where the guy is as the clouds part and "Tom" vanishes between the clouds, inhaled by some kind of beam ... WTF?
