Letter: A dream I dreamed
Dear Editor,
I had a dream about a conversation between the Almighty and St. Michael, the archangel:
GOD: Hey Mikey! Did you line up all those special events for the 2020s?
MIKE: Sure did, Boss. I, … uh, did you say 2020s? As in plural?
GOD: Yes, why do you ask? Oh, wait. Did you load up everything in one year?
MIKE: Um, yeah. I did think it was a bit much, hitting folks with killer wasps and October wildfires. That’s why I put off the asteroid strike for awhile.
GOD: Great. Just great. How bad is it down there?
MIKE: Not so good, Boss. Lots of folks coming home earlier than hoped, but there’s an election that could turn things around.
GOD: Yeah, they got to get rid of that president. Then maybe they can govern with a bit more love and less fear or hate. I know! I’m gonna help the Dems win and learn how to play more hardball.
MIKE: Ya want me to round up Franklin and Theodore for some White House dream visitations?
GOD: No. I’ve got a better idea.
MIKE: What? Who?
GOD: AOC.
Sincerely,
Brodie Farquhar
Hayden
