Office meeting.  My boss is spewing out the latest pitch about how we need to be more warrior-like, referencing SEAL Team Six, the Spartans, the Gurkhas, blah blah blah.  From behind his coke-bottle thick glasses, he gives us a pasty smile and tells us he has a special treat for us.  Walks out of the room and comes back wearing a rising sun headband, and begins prancing around on the meeting table, slicing the air with a katana and yelling in a 1,000,000% testosterone-free voice.  I roll my eyes and open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  A band of Ewoks appear in the corner and cut the rope of a log-swing booby trap.  It rockets forward and smashes my boss in the nuts, causing him to vomit and pass out.  All of us are laughing.  I shake the hand of an Ewok and thank him, to which he replies, “Ichuta!”  Then he jumps into my arms and gives me a hug.

Meetings are horrible.  But there is a solution:  Ewoks and their log-swing booby traps.  Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here:  Vol. 1 on Kindle.  Vol. 2 on Kindle here:  Vol.2 on Kindle. Links for Vol.2 on Smashwords/Nook/iBooks/Kobo are available here:  Echo on other platform
