Being chased by the Culture Purist Hipsters!  I’ve mistakenly mentioned I enjoy all kinds of music and film.  At first they scoff at my plebeian tastes, but when one of ’em follows me into the bathroom and sneeks a peek over my urinal and sees the heat I’m packing (yeah it weirded me out too) they go mad with jealous rage!  My 10 lb. terrier Bitefighter and I run into an old abandoned castle and collapse the gate just in time.  We’re breathing a mutual sigh of relief when we hear an echoing boom sound from outside.  We scramble up a tower and see a battering ram swaying back and then crashing into the gate.  Hundreds of yards away, torch-lit catapults are wheeling creakily into place.  I look down at Bitefighter’s scruffy old man face and he gives me a concerned whine.  I open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  Bitefighter’s tiny form becomes encased in a Bitefighter-sized suit of Robotech armor.  The last piece snaps over his head, and his glassy eye-pieces gleam with sapphire blaze.  He jumps off the tower, back-mounted thrusters flying him at the sieging mob.  Twirling smoke trails wind through the air as he launches a sequence of micro-missiles.  The explosions send hipsters flying left and right.  Lightsabers sprout from his claw-tips as he dives low, chopping up legions of black-rimmed-glasses wearing mofos.  I cheer him on, whooping and hollering like I’m eight years old.  Saved!
