I’m eating at a local mom-and-pop diner with a stellar reputation, and I see a cartful of dirty dishes that has been left out by accident.  I wheel the cart to the back, a waitress thanks me, and I’m counting out money for the tip when a group of impeccably dressed businessmen at the table to my left sneer at me.  “Look at this plebian,” one of them snarls.  “Tipping the help when they’re leaving nasty dishes in plain view of paying customers.  What an idiot.”  I grit my teeth and open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  The guy who spoke disappears.  His friends stare at me in astonishment and fear.  “WHAT DID YOU TO HIM?” one of them blurts.  “Relax,” I say.  “He’s been transformed into a sperm bank janitor until he can learn some manners.”  I give the men a wink.  “I hope he’s good at mopping.”

Bring forth the Yucks, and the “OMG that’s gross.”  Let them “come.”  😉  Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle.
