America, 2030, citizens purged. Estimated population, 90 million. Life ceased. Those who stood against tyranny survived the great struggle.
Five years later, a new government rose from the ashes. Their promise, restore America to the republic for which it once stood. And the people believed every word President Jones (D), and VP Stein (R) spoke in their spellbinding tone.
“Vice President Stein, Governor Newthorne, Reverend Clergy, and my fellow citizens of our new America. We stand before you today as we swear in front of God and country to defend this nation against all threats, both domestic and foreign. The atrocities withstood will never encroach upon this great nation,” Jones exclaimed as he slammed his fist down onto the podium. Before he continued, he glanced over and winked at Stein, nodded to Newthrone, and continued, “From this day forward, I promise swift justice with balanced scales. We will protect and serve you, the citizens of this nation, with fairness and integrity. But, in return, I ask you to hold our feet to the fire. Never again will we surrender to corruption. Corporate leaders and politicians who perpetrate crimes against the people will receive justice. This I promise, so help me God.”
The crowd erupted as Jones closed with his final words. Cheers of happiness rang throughout the city. Hope filled the people’s hearts. Once the crowd calmed, Jones and Stein waved to the people, stepped down from the platform, and headed off to the White House.
Over the next few weeks, people examined the events unfold as Jones upheld his words. They witnessed traitors throughout the country executed for crimes against humanity. Anyone involved in human trafficking, death by a thousand cuts. If any dared promote ideology against the law of the land, immediate incarceration or death by hanging. Crimes committed against children or women, public floggings televised on prime time.
Never again would citizens suffer the same fate as the past generation. Justice governed this new America, as people believed in their leaders. They hung onto their every word as if it streamed from the mouth of God himself.
True lovers of freedom led the nation into a time of healing. The pain once suffered, erased from their memories. A new dawn arose in the people’s minds, with Jones and Stein at the helm.
If only they used judgment instead of emotion, this story could end right here. Instead, their desires for a new world superseded all logic. Little did they realize the dark forces awaiting them.
END
