Dedication

To the usual suspects—Ann Mickan, Bronwyn Heeley and those of you who continue to read my stories.

It all began over fifty years ago, during a battle for the seat of the presidency of what used to be known as the United States of America. What had seemed like a gag at first, when people laughed that no such thing could ever happen to such a great and democratic country, marked the beginning of a nightmare. As the months passed, fascination turned into a cult-like movement that slowly gained momentum and captured everyone’s attention around the world.

Political parties scrambled, politicians changed sides, the masses gathered, and it seemed there was no stopping the rabid candidate from taking the top spot. But by some twist of fate, people paused to think, then think twice, and even a third time. This was the time when more and more innocents fell victim to bigot-driven domestic violence that brought presidents to tears. With a little bit of luck, the one whom everyone thought would most likely win, was in fact, winning. For a brief moment, people breathed a sigh of relief and the world saw a future of peace.

But there was no peace to come. Winning by a popular vote was not enough. Even with almost three million votes over and above the less favored candidate, that other won by a slim margin through the electoral vote.

Soon after the unprecedented victory, the winning candidate rallied his forces behind him and in an extraordinary move, called for a rebellion against the very idealism the country was built upon. He poured his own money to support a radicalized religious war. With the billions backing him, spurred on by the mass hysteria that soon followed his wake of dissent, differing opinions rose and questioned their membership to a union they deemed on the brink of losing its conservative values.
