“Wassup, bitches! My name’s Celeste, and I’m a certified goddess of the streets! Yeah, an’ since crap’s gone south I’ve been spreading my blessings all around this here ‘Burgh. You need some food? I gotchu, I grow that stuff everywhere. You need a place to crash? Yeah, I got more bolt-holes than Peter frickin’ Cottontail. You got a damn toothache? Lemme whip something up, I got six different ways to handle that. And all I’m gonna ask for in return is this; next time you see some poor fool in trouble, jus’ like you is right now, you don’t dare kick ‘em down. Naw, you go pick ‘em right back up. Maybe show ‘em some street magic just like I’m doin’ for you.
See, I been fightin’ my whole life to try to get some kinda balance restored. Racism, police shootings, gang violence, none of that.crap ever made any sense. I always done what I could, God knows I tried to do more than that, but if I’m bein’ honest, what could one lil’ black girl from the hood really do? So I joined all them social justice groups, threw my voice and my strength  behind ‘em, and kept fighting the good fight. At least, right up to the point that they inevitably started makin’ concessions, started watering down their morality jus’ so the media-slaves and VR junkies would keep comin’ back to the well. Screw that.
And I almost gave up, know what I mean? Because I saw the answer, but it was just too damn big.
But lo and behold, bitches, ‘cause society done messed the hell up. Now, with of all them damn drones buzzin’ around the place, the rest of us have a chance to fix this mess.. This can be our new utopia. We just need to keep it cool and help each other out. The Golden Rule, people, that’s the only rule we need.”
