12. AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR . . .

Tan Tien sat down comfortably, straightened her spine, and proceeded to breath slowly, regularly, filling her lungs completely with air, holding a few seconds, then letting it all out each time. She did this while sitting on a rug with a digitized Daffy Duck prancing all over it. She had always found that humor aided her meditation.

Soon she had it all tuned out, her mind a blank screen.

Here it is, El Lay, the spirits of the adult dead are about to return to earth for Dead Daze, the sun is sinking slowly into the Western sky, blazing warm colors over fabulously rebuilt, redesigned, and thoroughly recombozoid El Monte, just a few hot licks off the San Bernardino Freeway from the throbbing, burning Dead Dazed heart of the city-sprawl, in this wonderfully repainted warehouse district where none other than the one, the only, the sensationally sumato, man of this Dead Daze, Smokey Espejo is said to be hard at work in a secret studio, preparing a release that will recomboize whatever parts of the planet that are still stuck in the xau-xau of the last millennium!
