I get in the pool to swim laps. A ring of kids surrounds me. WTF? They’re chuckling, high-fiving, when suddenly, the water around them turns vitamin-orange. The dark miasma creeps towards me, touches my skin, and suddenly my flesh is withering (what kind of processed, Soylent Green shit are kids eating nowadays, anyway?) I climb out of the pool, panicking, and see my trembling arms wither into old-man limbs. I see my eReader sitting on the deck and open it to Echo. Magic flash. The inflated duckies, T-rexes, and hippo floats come to life and start chasing the kids around the pool. They’re crying and screaming as my lips peel back in a vengeful grin.
Keep peeing in the pool. Eventually, karma will give you a REAL reason to piss yourself. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on Kindle here: Vol.2 on Kindle.
