Things were going well, until we got arrested. By our own security.
No lawyer, no rights read, even our own boss turned on us.
Because now we were being studied like the very people we were studying before. Or trying to.
You see, we couldn't find any trace of those people, except for faint traces of biological material that were old enough to be historical.
Everyone was starting to think they were some sort of urban legend.
Until we went on a...

DO ELECTIONS REALLY HAVE CONSEQUENCES?
This saying is repeated often, and seldom fully understood.
So this collection of pure fiction came into being, which explores the choices that politicians make, as well as those who manage them and follow them.

My true love got us trapped here with my own time machine.
Not really her fault - or I hoped, anyway.
You see, she's brilliant, powerful - and a shapeshifting cat who rules Ancient Egypt.
That last part doesn't bother me, as long as she's human at least part of the time. Otherwise, royal consorts have some benefits, too.
She brought me here with my own machine. And, then it disappeared. Stolen. And, now we're marooned. But, that doesn't matter....

Walking down the highway barefoot, feverish, and in only a nightgown.
At least the storm had quit. Now if I could get my chattering teeth to stop, it would help, maybe.
Up ahead, I see some stopped cars. Some have their lights on. Maybe I can get help. Too bad I can't travel any faster the way I am.
That's odd. Nobody in them. Lights on, but no one at home.
Except for a crying baby. And no one answers my calls either.
No, I can't leave her alone....

I'd been left out here, alone. By an oil-burning lamp. In the cold, uncaring desert.
It was my only comfort until dawn.
Just dawn started bringing the earliest glimmer of what I could see with my human eyes, I woke to some snuffling sound near my head.
Opening my eyes, not relishing the hot day coming, I saw the nose of an animal near my face.
"Rise, little one."
I sat up. And, saw eye-to-eye with a female coyote.
She was not young. Scars crisscrossed...

She could still remember the look on his face when they closed the Riot Wall for the final time.
She could barely find him at first beyond the chain-link fence a few hundred yards away. If not for that red-plaid shirt he always wore when he visited her. Standing in the closed "visitor" queue on his side of that wall.
After this day, there would be no more visits. Because this wall was the long-overdue solution to the long-running riots.
Riots meant...
