Part Two

It’s been two weeks since The Friday Riots.

That’s what the media is calling it anyways.

These days every news story has to have an event style title. It needs to be something networks can create a logo around. Something to make their show intros sparkle and pop.

Urban legends have already grown out of those events saying the police killed Chris Friday and hid the body. They think the government, and the police, probably buried him somewhere near one of the many national parks in Montana.

The popular internet conspiracy is the government had come in and taken Chris off to one of its secret prisons. Maybe even some place in the U.K. or South Korea out of the gaze and interest of American eyes and ears.

But the boring truth is Chris has been in a cheap hotel eating delivery pizza and watching news reports about a Beyond Human man in North Carolina who had been keeping six women prisoner in his house, burning them with his hands, and sexually assaulting them.

The media have been plum orgasmic as the facts have rolled in on that story. It was the first story to bump the riots out of the headlines and something else will replace it soon enough.

We can only care about one thing at a time in America and nothing is ever in proportion.

Chris was waiting in that hotel room thinking over a scheme that was offered up to him to think about. Anytime someone makes an offer to you, an offer that is full of insanity, you have to think it over.

Not thinking over insane things is just insane in itself.

There are magazines and newspapers scattered about the hotel room still open to stories that had caught his mind such as a series of pipe bomb explosions in Florida and a commuter train derailment in upstate New York (responsibility claimed by the terrorist group The Laughing Child.)

The Laughing Child has declared a Jihad but that alone should tell you they are full of crap because Jihad does not mean Holy War. That’s something western culture has appropriated the word and changed the meaning to Holy
