Echo: A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

Bitefighterโ€”my loyal Buddy for Life and 10 lb. Terrier Extraordinaireโ€”lowers a piece of pizza to my mouth.ย  As he does so, I provide voice-over narration:

โ€œDelivery guyโ€™s using a slice for cover.ย  Heโ€™s 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  โ€œEAT THE HOSTAGE!!!โ€ย  Then I lunge forward and maow down on the pizza.ย  Omnomnommogglenomfnommers!

After Iโ€™m finished, he gives me a high five with his tiny furry paw.ย  Suddenly, alarms begin blaring inside our home, the Bitemobile.ย  (Itโ€™s 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, โ€œPop quiz, hotshotsโ€”the nastiest-looking man to ever walk the Earth is standing in front of you.ย  Heโ€™s slowly stripping down to his bare testicles, which he hasnโ€™t 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 theyโ€™ve been shot by a sniper, their noses and ears pouring with blood.

โ€œP-p-p-please,โ€ I manage.

He takes off his shirt, revealing a pale, liver-spotted stomach, and repeats, โ€œWhat 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 canโ€™t take thisโ€ฆthereโ€™s no way Iโ€™ll be able to see his weiner and keep my organs from exploding like coke-soaked pop-rocksโ€ฆ

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 Godโ€”the 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  ๐Ÿ˜€

  1. OMG! I nearly spit coffee at my computer screen when I read the comment about the tree screaming in pain. I can barely type this because my eyes are swimming with unshed tears of laughter. I know everyone in my office thinks I’m insane because in a totally silent room where nothing is happening, I just began giggling like a hyena from The Lion King.
