Occupying A Wicky-Wacky World
This week has been the wackiest one yet. The year is 2054 and I have been on a funhouse mirror, sprint, roller coaster, dungeon drop ride. First of all, the damn Queen of England den died and her own people on the news, slandering her. That’s wild. Weren’t there once days when people got thrown in the guillotine for things like that? Our people have more questions than we have answers. The first of which is: wtf is going on?

Kalamaalienation
“Suit up my alien friends. We will take over the most powerful nation. We just need to control one part of their government. Our disguise, as humans, will certainly fool them.
