Welcome to Folded In: The Rise of the Irrelevant President
At the DA's press conference following the Oregon Governor's release of the insurrectionists known as The Portland Four, their ringmaster gave an impromptu interview to a young reporter. Now Brad Wood at KWAX-TV. Wala Wala, wants to find out exactly who his intern videographer happened to catch on camera: "Who the hell is this mystery man wearing a Vote for Sacajawea t-shirt, who hints that the NFL colluded with the Biden Campaign, accuses his buddies in ANTIFA of selling out, and then just walks off down the block?!"
Peter Finnegan's life in Portland was going along so smoothly. He was getting good grades in college, had the perfect clothes, and in his off-hours, showed up at all the "right" demonstrations as a charter member of ANTIFA. Yup! Things were going along just great. That is, until the 2020 Presidential Election. That's when Peter was; outcast by Antifa, jailed without bail, dropped by his girlfriend, chomped on by his Golden Retriever, doomed to the Build Back Better Clinton Corps, and alarmed that the Nobel Prize was awarded for a Peace Plan that had been...imagineered!
And after all that, it was a simple platter of chocolate chip cookies that saved him.
Folded In is a rollicking short-story. A politically infused satire set in the very near and perhaps, dystopian future. It's a quick forty-five minute read with memorable characters and a Thanksgiving that proves that life around your family's holiday dinner table isn't as weird as you think!
And remember, it's only a work of Fiction if it doesn't turn out this way!
