St. Paddy’s Day.  A ring of six idiot, braying drunks has surrounded me, and won’t let me pass.  I open my eReader (to Echo, of course) and a magic flash rips the air.  I see a cyborg leprechaun standing next to me, its eyes flashing methodically, calculating force-vectors and trajectories.  The idiot-drunks pause and stare curiously at it.  It turns to me and says, “Duck.  Then run.”  I follow instructions as it launches a precise series of gut-punches, causing the drunks to projectile-vomit directly into each others faces.  I’m clear, and justice is served.
