    Summary

    A neurotic student and world-weary fisherman make a deal; they agree to journey across the state of post-apocalyptic Georgia with the promise to never see the other again after. The pact is codified with a bloody handshake and the binding obligation of guilt.

    Things get tricky when impalements, moral disputes, and a waning distaste for one another get in the way.

    (Contains: a pick-up truck, folk music, and closets stuffed with skeletons.)

    Ben has had enough of pretty much living. At the very least, he's messed up far too many times to be anywhere near worthy of staying with the group.

    Lee thinks otherwise.

    Summary

    “How far up does it go?”

    “All the way, I suppose,” said Emmett. “The universe is theoretically infinite in size.”

    “Far out.” Marty heaved a sigh. “Doc. I don’t like that.”

    "Really? Personally, I take great comfort in the insignificance of my existence within the unfathomable scale of the universe.” He leaned on the workbench, bringing his head down level with Marty’s eyeline. “You know, in the grand scheme of things, every single living creature on earth is infinitesimally small. On a cosmic scale you and I are essentially of a size. Isn’t that interesting?”

    “If you say so."

    When Doc Brown realises there's something living in his lab, he thinks he has an unusually smart rat. To his amazement, he finds himself with a four-inch tall teenager on his hands - a teenager who is lost, and alone, and a long way away from home.
