This is a short, action-packed, science-fiction story of a 19 year old young man who’s a geek and whose mother is urging him to get a job…telling him that there is more to life than playing video games. She tells him that he must 'start pulling his weight’ at home, and share the financial responsibilities. He receives a way-out job offer from the Blue Man, an intergalactic bounty hunter, to fight a dangerous scourge of the universe, when he comes face-to-leg with that scourge who is lurking in his basement.
