Independence Day
Independence Day
(140 Words)
Oh, the
celebration!
America’s most
recent purchase from France has arrived and all the world has turned out to
see. Dignitaries from across the globe have front-row seats for this momentous
occasion. The Queen of England with her entourage sits next to the Prime
Minister of India with his.
The crowd
cheers as the president is led to the platform. For all he has done for
America, our esteemed president will be the first.
Everything is
in place, the tracks are greased, blade sharpened, equipment tested, only the
basket is missing.
The crowd
grows silent in anticipation of the release.
Whoosh…Thud!
The president’s
head rolls at my blood-spattered feet as the crowd thunders.
“Best seats
in the house.” I wink at my husband as more politicians are brought to join the
growing line.
America has
declared her independence once again.
