Before The Aftermath

  *Arrive home. Insert third person as the boyfriend's corpse*

  ISG: Unusual!? Un-fucking - usual!?!?! You’re the devil! You killed my land- *abrupt correction from ‘lord’ to* lover... My lover… He's dead and you killed him!

  MSG: Yes. But now we have the whole house to ourselves. Penelope?

  ISG: Yeah?

  MSG: Do you have any other lovers?

  ISG: No.

  MSG: Splendid. Will you live with me in holy matrimony?

  ISG: ????????? *React accordingly*

  SCENE

  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  A Republican and an Anarchist in Washington DC

  Republican: It's an amazing thing to be in our nation's capital; Washington DC. Can't you smell the freedom in the air?

  Anarchist: I think that's burning hair venting from the FBI building.

  R: Why would the FBI be burning hair?

  A: They're actually burning flesh. But some people are hairy. Especially the brown people they're burning in there. One day they'll burn people like me. Dirty poor freedom fighters. Washington DC doesn't have many threats, but we're one of them. Us and China, the inevitable slave masters.....

  R: Can't you enjoy the history of this place?

  A: One day what we're doing right now will be history. The final days at the fall of the empire and the decline of environmental stability. The birth of militarized weather. People will remember this time.

  R: Why would the military use the weather as a weapon?

  A: Because if the rich could kill people with their dicks they would.

  R: There are good people doing good work in this place.

  A: Yeah. Hookers and drug dealers, maybe.

  R: No. In government, trying to remove the corrupt politicians. But it's not so simple. The good politicos and the bad politicos work together and sometimes they share interests.

  A: That means there are no good politicos! They're all fascist! I'm done! I say people over profits. No more profits. No more money. No more money, no more power, and no more power, no more suffering. Equality. Unity. To each according to need from each according to ability. Everything for everyone and nothing for ourselves. There are better ways, and it doesn't matter what way they are, because any way is better than this. Any child will tell you the importance of sharing. It could make the world go around.

  R: Listen, child, the government is protecting us.

  A: From the truth?

  R: From terrorists.

  A: So from lies?

  R: You're the one lying. Where do you get your information from?

  A: It's the weirdest thing. I make up the worst thing I could possibly imagine one person would do to another person, and like clockwork, coincidently, that's what DC is doing. Out of sight and out of mind somewhere. I'll confirm the facts on your tracking device, let me see it.*Break out phone prop* First, I'll make something up. Indonesian government, funded by USA, slaughtering indigenous people in West Papua. Checking the facts.... And the intel is good! See! There was no way on earth for me to know that was happening before hand.

  R: *With dumb agreeing snarl* That's true.

  A: So, now that I've told you, for instance- that Washington DC has no soul, slaughters babies by the 1,000s, convinces you these actions are justified, lies to you and to everybody so no one has any idea an empire- let alone their empire- is robbing this planet of its ability to sustain life- and is doing it for profit- I ask- do you know what happens to us when this planet can't sustain life anymore?

  R: That won't happen.

  A: It's already happening. The ocean is turning to acid. Check the facts.
