A cyborganic young girl sidles to the bar, climbs up onto the high stool as a squirrel does a perch. Her awkward demeanour belies a stealthy footstep. The girl opens a blue canvas purse, removes a glowing coin, drops it in the kiosk. The robot barkeep spins over, its face a CRT of a Max Headroom homage version of George W. Bush.
Um... An eggcream, thanks. Soy milk and heavy on the mit Gass.
Eggcream, not freedomcream, Dubya. But thanks.
The girl closes her eyes. She sits silently as The robot mixes seltzer, chocolate, and soy milk.
Thanks, Dubya.
The girl sips at the eggcream, as a 1980βs cybernetic George W. Bush waits in attendance.
You mixed it well. It has a nice froth and the fizzy is thick. Next time, please use a darker cocoa chocolate?
No, I donβt think so.
...
These are the times which try menβs souls. Eggcream is the proof itβs worth it. The proof in the pudding. You grok?
Hereβs to Brooklyn, Dubya. Thatβs what Iβm saying. Hereβs to Brooklyn.

I think I'll try an eggcream myself. And one for Smudge, please, but hold the chocolate on his.
