I stomped squarely down crushing the fire out along with the bot. Still spitting grease -

“My brother, you are….... retarded. Clean this shit up.” I spun on my planted foot towards the door and started to leave, puttering around looking for my keys. The veggie-men clustered around their smeared brother, I looked back, kind of curious but I had other things to do.
