Death of a Salesman

The droid was the smoothest operator Bolt had ever encountered. Within a nano second of the door sliding up, the droid was on his knees with his weapon drawn.
Bolt hurled the disintegrator fluid at the salesman.
The droids weapon spat out the deadliest dose of crystal air. It was so pure Bolt was dead before the fluid left his slimy hand. The droid encapsulated the fluid in a smooth steel thermos before it had a chance to hit him.
Another successful day for the door to door salesman.
Crystal air was an ingenious product. It had taken out tens of thousands of zombies since its introduction earlier in the 31st centuary. It was a simple,water product from a pure spring in the mountains, only the crystal air remained after centrifuge.
Why just the other day a company had engaged him to do a demo on a Park Avenue entity
A Mr. D. Eath.
The appointment had been made for tomorrow.
