In Another Country

by Joseph Solis-Mullen

“There had been an attack overnight on one of the military bases in the occupied country. Three soldiers were dead, and it thrust the war everyone had stopped wanting to talk about back into the national news spotlight for a good part of the day. … The next day there was a hearing in the Capital, where the banking heads of the nation were called to testify as to how they’d sunk the economy and destroyed peoples’ life savings …. The day after that, though, a scandal broke that made for excellent news, the best in weeks, maybe even months. It was discovered that a high-ranking elected representative of the people had been embezzling money to keep up a mistress in another country.” (12/11/24)
