"Move out, men!" We press across the cratered field, making cover just before the next barrage.

"There’s too many of them," yells William. "We can’t run forever."

"You’d rather give up?"

A welfare mom speeds by in her Cadillac; a brownish child leans from the window and throws a grenade into our trench. William throws himself himself on it just as it blows...

Winnifred swabs sweat from William’s brow with an 800 thread count Egyptian cotton towel.

Refusing our last bottle of Perrier, he utters last words: "This never would have happened if we’d kept them from getting universal healthcare."
