It kind of bothers me that it was edited in only 10 minutes.

Yeah.  And I noticed several errors in the piece that would have been caught by a good editor.  Painful.

Eh, it was fun and quick.  Made me laugh a few times, which is more than I can say for most books that I've read lately.  Scalzi does a good job.  Glad to see that he's playing in the short story field.  Thanks for the post.

Sadly, not even one mention of bacon. Otherwise a pretty entertaining story.

Are you joking or did you miss it?

Q. Cities won’t really try to collect from the super being that saved their bacon, would they?

Had never heard of Scalzi until this post. It was amusing though. Thanks
