THE WAR RAGES ON

Raconteur:

Dark clouds covered the skies;

bodies lay decaying away in the streets;

a fetid and foul aroma filled

and

congested the air.

Above the horizon,

flares could be seen flickering

from the

bombardment

of bombs bursting.

The year was 1942.

Germany had already invaded Poland.

We were three years into the Second World War.

By the time the war had ended, an

estimated eighty-five million

people had

lost their

lives,

which was about 3 percent

of the world’s population in the 1940s.

The most sanguinary of savageries known

to humankind was

upon

us.

No one knew how long the

war would go on.

It seemed as if there was no

end in sight.

At that time,

the political leaders

were sinking in their own

political quagmire.

The chemist and the scientist grouped

together,

experimenting

and

concocting various chemicals,

forming

nuclear weapons.

Those of the ecclesiastical

order

did what they knew best:

they conjured up and

summoned the

powers

of God.

But it all seemed to no avail.

The war dragged on.

HACKING OUT OF AND

INTO THE SYSTEM

The sun rose.

The sun set.

Winters came and

winters

went,

and as the

war carried

on.

In secrecy

cloaked and daggered

in mystery,

a

council of three

convened.

They

were the brightest minds

the world had

never known.

They existed hermetically

and

walked among us in

surreptitious

secrecy.

They were considered

classified sleeper cells

of the CIA.

No one spoke of them,

and even

fewer

knew of their
