Moose In The Wilderness
“Not too good” I answered.
“Yeah” she said. “You were really screwed in the election. They gave all your votes to Obama.”
“Just like they did you in the primaries” I said.
“Tell me about it. Listen, the reason I called is I’m gonna be the next Secretary of State.”
“So you’re gonna work for the aliens? The Greys? You’ve sold out!” I was shocked and I’m sure my voice showed it.
“You got it, Moose. I mean, I’d really like for the little aliens to win and for me to be Queen of The World, but in the meantime I’ll just be Secretary Of State.”
“So you’re gonna work both ends against the middle” I said.
“Damn straight” she answered. She kept talking but I wasn’t listening. I lowered the phone and looked out the window at the pine trees rushing by.
I was getting close to my new home, 51 degrees N in Ontario. I thought about quitting and going back but it was too late for that. The intergalactic war would not wait. The small aliens and the US Air Force (in alliance with the Canadian government) had built a secret base on the Moose River. The last hope for mankind was taking shape among the pines and I had to do my part.
I stepped off the train at Moosonee and dove into the icy cold river and swam toward my destiny, whatever it might be.
