Halloween.  Ding dong.  I open the door and see grown adults in half-ass costumes.  “You guys are like twenty five,” I say skeptically.  “Give us the candy!” one of them snarls, “Or we sodomize you six ways from Sunday!”  I scream, “EXIT ONLY!” and try to close the door but they muscle their way in.  I fall on my back and see my eReader within reach.  I open it to Echo.  Magic flash.  The Hulk, a werewolf, and an oiled-up Zangief magically appear.  They chuckle evilly, smacking their fists into their hands.  “Did someone say sodomy?” Zangief growls in that terrifying accent.  “We can accommodate.”  My three saviors lunge after the trick-or-treaters and they stumble backwards, flailing in terror.  A half-second later, they’re fleeing down the street.
