I'm glad the story isn't over yet :)<br /><br />Aaron - that was very nicely done.

Both of them?”<br /><br />“Si, El Presidente.”<br /><br />“Where are the bodies?”<br /><br />“Sir?”<br /><br />“I need to see the bodies.”<br /><br />“I’ll have to make a call.”<br /><br />“Then make it. And bring the bodies here.”<br /><br />“To the residence?”<br /><br />“Yes, everyone must see they are dead.”<br /><br />President Garcia stood at his desk, looking out the window. The sun shined brightly. The sea was calm. In the distance he could make out the words etched into the cliff wall. The message had appeared overnight: “THE BEARD LIVES”. He needed to know it was a lie.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535943936537261662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-41410566627729965882011-03-28T00:24:42.761-07:002011-03-28T00:24:42.761-07:00Two days of relative good behaviour and then Blogg...Two days of relative good behaviour and then Blogger eats my post again. I've no idea why either, it's happening from different machines at different times, with different length posts.<br /><br />---<br />I loved the holding cells today, they really made me smile. I also like that your president is more middle-eastern dictator than White-House incumbent!<br /><br /><b>The President</b><br />Charles Ascugimento, Head of Building Security, reviewed the assembled security force in front of him in the plaza. They had evacuated the building with commendable speed, and over half of them had noticed when he'd changed the state of emergency by a half-tone, going from gamboge to burned-daffodil. He actually felt optimistic about the President's visit tomorrow.<br />"Attention scum!" he said, his voice magnified around the plaza by the PA system. "As you will all soon be aware, the President of Security will arriving tomorrow. He will be bringing fifty lawyers-at-arms, and there will be a general inspection!"<br />He let the worried murmurs swell and ebb while he pondered whether to tell them about the consequences of failing the inspection. He decided on balance that they'd be happier not knowing that the President was also bringing his own firing squad.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
