THE RED EMPIRE (OR, LIBERAL HELL)

The last homosexuals were rounded up and hanged in New Cheney's public square. Their executions coincided with the beginning of Patriot Month, when Emperor Bush informed citizens that America's forces in the Middle East were closer to flushing out the few remaining Muslims and bringing them to justice.

Not many Republicans took comfort in his words, however. Rumors of a Democrat cabal conspiring in upper Reagan Territory to overthrow the empire had been circulating all over New Cheney, and there were reports that Blue Books--forbidden liberal texts--were being distributed by traitors in Santorumland.

The Republicans prayed for their deaths.

Prawn to Whale POV

The water rolled softly, warm, pulsating currents that let me drift aimlessly. Shafts of pale light cut underwater, slicing through the teal-speckled waters. A dark sapphire hulk in the near distance I took for a mere rock.

A guttural moan disproved my thought, sending thunderous waves whirling me out of control.

I fled, thin legs straining against the current. Another moan sent me kicking harder in vain against the waters that began flowing backwards, drawing me in...

In my peripheral, rows of colossal scythes, a burnished gold were wavering between arcs of fierce cerulean, before the rushing torrent inhaled me.
