Walking my dog past hollering punks at a basketball court.  Ball flies out of court, hits an old lady in the face, making her fall and sit, and the punks laughingly apologize.  You can tell they’re not sorry; they go right back to joking and playing ball.  The ball’s flying at me now.  I open my eReader to Echo, and a cyborg ninja appears, slices the ball in half with a katana.  The punks scream and start running for a car.  Ninja guy takes the deflated ball and it starts glowing.  He chucks it, tornado kicks it, and the thing rockets into their car, crumpling the passenger side.  Their faces—a minute ago obnoxious—are now sad.

Sometimes, near basketball games, you need a motherf***king ninja.  Buy Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle ($0.99) here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.  Both volumes on other eReaders here:  Echo on other eReaders
