The Beast had spent four years locked in the Cupboard, but still it spread fear in the population. Scores of macho men had challenged it; none had survived. Finally, Martha Daniels arrived. Her plan? Confront the monster with an army of those whom it feared most – African-Americans, Hispanics, LGBT, women. "Monster, we confront you!" they chanted outside the Cupboard Door. The monster roared mightily. "Monster, we have nothing to fear but fear itself," Martha replied, slowly opening the Cupboard Door. A tiny wizened figure peered out at its adversaries. "Good morning, Mr President," Martha said, quietly. "Your time is up." |

Great story, Gordon. Wonderful surprise ending. Some say truth is stranger than fiction - I'm hoping your fiction is truer than true in a few days time :)

He's busy reinforcing that door from the other side... and he has help. It isn't going to be easy to dislodge him. Comments are closed.
