Christmas shopping. ย I’m casually humming along to Mariah Carey holiday stuffย (yep they’re my dirty little secret), and walking through the mall, pleasantly surprised by how empty it is. ย I pick out the latest trendy gifts: ย Game consoles, stuffed toys…suddenly, I feel/hear the earth rumbling. ย The coffee in my hand starts doing that Jurassic Park thing where the liquid is plopping and shaking. ย I turn to look behind me and narrow my eyes. ย “What theโ” My eyes widen: ย A sea of shopping carts is charging towards me, each one manned by a rage-infested yuppie. ย Open my eReader to Echo. ย Magic flash. ย A horde of yuppie bait drops into their midstโorganic quinoa, assorted gear for a Mud Run, gift cards for Panera, Starbucks, timeshare adsโand the horde collapses inward, tearing at each others’ flesh and stabbing at each others’ eyes with their SUV keys. ย I make a hasty escape.
For those times when you can’t call for artillery, naval gunfire, or close air support. ย Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: ย Vol. 1 on Kindle. ย Vol. 2 on Kindle here: ย Vol.2 on Kindle.
