Broken to-ken

Broken To-Ken by J.B. Pravda

Madam Torchflame, mystic medium to, and, yes, for, the Stars was in
deep trance, gesturing in ways she knew not of, of things she knew not
of------"Aha!" She blurted, in an accent alien even unto her vast ken
of the Unknown------------"My vast ken of the Unknown tells me the
goddam Franklin you have just tendered me is not, in fact, 'legal
tender, valid for all debts, public and private', but, rather, a bloody
counterfeit!"; in a shameless fit of pained pseudo-insouciance, her
erstwhile subject exclaimed: "Okay, okay&;#8230;&;#8230;but, how
the hell did you know my name was Ken?"
