The Short Cut is the name given to a strange alien world accessed by the Highwayman, John Bruckner. It is an eerie nightmare world, full of strange flora and fauna, and where time and space behave differently to the way they do on Earth. One creature stands out from the rest. It appears to be a duster-clad man with a featureless white cone for a head that tapers into a wet red tentacle. This creature has demonstrated some level of command over the others.

abstract	The Short Cut is the name given to a strange alien world accessed by the Highwayman, John Bruckner. It is an eerie nightmare world, full of strange flora and fauna, and where time and space behave differently to the way they do on Earth. By day the Short Cut is lit by a green sun that moves slowly, but perceptibly, across the sky. The light from this sun bathes the Short Cut in illumination that human visitors find strange, and when nightfall comes the sun is extinguished with a surprising suddenness. Night time is lit by a moon that is splotched and diseased-looking, and that shines with a greenish light like the hue of gangrenous flesh. The Short Cut is populated by creatures that bear human traits, yet are noticeably different. Some of these are spider-like creatures with disturbingly human faces, and plants filled with fluids that bear a strong resemblance to blood seem to move under their own conscious control. Many of the denizens, both flora and fauna, have been observed to secrete corrosive fluids, either as an attack form or just a natural part of their biological make up. One creature stands out from the rest. It appears to be a duster-clad man with a featureless white cone for a head that tapers into a wet red tentacle. This creature has demonstrated some level of command over the others. Laws of time, space, and physics appeared to be as skewed as the bestiary in the Short Cut. When Bruckner enters the Short Cut he can travel from London to the United States in roughly quarter of an hour. He has also noted that guns do not work in the Short Cut, and yet the chemical reaction in the engine of his truck remains unaffected by the environment. When Bruckner travels the Short Cut, he does so on a straight, well-maintained highway. Despite the straightness of this road, it will always take him exactly where he needs to go when he exits the Short Cut.
