Bitefighterโmy loyal Buddy for Life and 10 lb. Terrier Extraordinaireโlowers a piece of pizza to my mouth.ย As he does so, I provide voice-over narration:
โDelivery guyโs using a slice for cover.ย Heโs almost to the plane.ย What do you do?ย WHAT DO YOU DO, HOTSHOT???โ
Bitefighter locks gazes with me for a tense, earth-shattering second.
I scream:ย โEAT THE HOSTAGE!!!โย Then I lunge forward and maow down on the pizza.ย Omnomnommogglenomfnommers!
After Iโm finished, he gives me a high five with his tiny furry paw.ย Suddenly, alarms begin blaring inside our home, the Bitemobile.ย (Itโs a tech-ed out dumpster fitted with batteries of particle-beam weaponry and electrogravitic thrusters).ย We scramble out into the surrounding alley and lock gazes with the grodiest man alive:
Gary Busey.
He grins maliciously and says, โPop quiz, hotshotsโthe nastiest-looking man to ever walk the Earth is standing in front of you.ย Heโs slowly stripping down to his bare testicles, which he hasnโt shaved in well over a decade, and now look like mutant tarantulas.ย What do you do?โ
Garey undoes two buttons on his shirt, giving us a glimpse of his pimply, old man chest.ย Me and Bitefighter are hit with a psychic blast of pure nausea; we drop to our knees, clutching our stomachs and gasping in pain.ย Every pedestrians in a hundred yard radius falls to the ground like theyโve been shot by a sniper, their noses and ears pouring with blood.
โP-p-p-please,โ I manage.
He takes off his shirt, revealing a pale, liver-spotted stomach, and repeats, โWhat do you DO?โ
My eyes fill with blood and I vomit up pink sputum.ย A nearby tree screams in pain, then withers into dust.
He keeps going, taking off his jeans and stripping down to a happy-face dotted speedo.ย Oh god, I canโt take thisโฆthereโs no way Iโll be able to see his weiner and keep my organs from exploding like coke-soaked pop-rocksโฆ
So I reach into my pocket and open my eReader to Echo, activating its reality distortion powers.ย Magic flash.
Suddenly, a mandala-threaded portal opens beneath me and Bitefighter.ย We drop into it, and we find ourselves flying on the backs of talking pterodactyls, high above a magic land filled with busty elves and glowing swords.
My Godโthe Enchanted Booty Forest.
We exchange a high-five and pump our fists, ready to go buck-nuts wild like the craze-faced malcontents that we both are.
The adventures of Man Child and Bitefighter continue!ย ๐
