Wide-eyed, panting, sweating, RUNNING. ย Branches whip past my face, leaves crunch underfoot; I’ve been transported to Stereotype World, and this country is Redneck Country. ย I’m being pursued by dudes straight out of Deliverance and my butthole is in SERIOUS jeopardy. ย I open my eReader. ย Magic Flash. ย A book on proper grammar and pronunciation appears in my hand. ย WTF? ย I shrug, stop and turn, and throw it at the oncoming pack, led by some crazy bearded fella named Zeke. ย The hillbillies stop in their tracks and I hear, “NOOOO! ย PROPER PER’NUNCIATION!” ย When the book makes contact with Zeke’s skin I raise my hands to my face; he explodes into a blindingly hot mushroom cloud. ย The rest of them scatter.
