(1999 - 2020) Good lord I’m sick of writing these - but this one's a doozy: Franklin Frankie, executive assistant for famed newspaper boss Rick Rickerson, was killed by the digital last night in the city that never sleeps. Known by multiple storeowners for his frantic picking-up of items, Frankie's name has been entered in Britannica's next edition as a synonym for "unpaid intern". He will be buried with his phone on Wednesday, along with his newly-minted JanitorUnion™ card and six robots - four of which shall barrage his afterlife with a series of disconnected nouns and adjectives.
