Deckard's Revenge

Let me start out by saying that I'm not superstitious.

I needed an umbrella, so I thought I'd pick out one I'd enjoy. I ordered the nifty light-up Blade Runner umbrella off Amazon.

It arrived, and I opened it up inside the house, which, as we all know is bad luck, but I wanted to see the glowy part.

My phone is a Nexus 6. Same model as Roy Batty.

Two hours after I open the Blade Runner umbrella inside the house, my Nexus 6 takes a tumble. It falls two feet to the kitchen linoleum and breaks. Despite the Gorilla Glass, despite the protective clamshell case.

The short lifespan is a the failsafe.

I'm not coming right out and saying that the Blade Runner "retired" my Nexus 6, but

"Wake up, sheeple!"
