my manager scuttles toward me as i enter. "eight hours late? you're fired. and you can be sure no other company will hire your scummy ass in the future"

my left eye twitches as i calmly respond. "you forgot one thing."

"what's that?"

"there's only one monopoly we don't tolerate. a monopoly of force." i backflip as i pull out my DEs and start firing. the screams of the dying fill the air like mercury. this is one market that just got regulated.
