The Mongers

A Dystopian Love Story

By: C.M. Halstead

Narrated by: Eric Carstenson

At that moment, it was hard to say if it was Revolution or Civil War; it didn't matter to those men, women, and children fighting and dying. Anyway, what's in a label?

Labels are what started the war, in the first place. The country was in turmoil. After a few years of recovery and growth from one of the greatest economic crashes in their history, the electoral college elected a president full of hate and fervor, much to the chagrin of the country's populous.

The new president's supporters are not the standard loud minority; this one was silent for an extended period of time, it being uncool to hate-monger. Once this diamond in the rough appeared for them, they came out of hiding. Hate, spite, and blame venomous on their lips, they spoke of fault and projected blame onto other races and creeds.

Once again, monolithic walls are being considered. Both to keep in and to keep out. The electoral college, in their infinite wisdom, chose to listen to the anger and the corporate monies filling their palms, henceforth encouraging a period of hate. The grandfathers of the last great war lay dead and buried, the cause of that war dying with them. Forgotten.

Buy this book before it is banned. It is far too truthful to this year's presidential campaign, debate, and election process to not raise some eyebrows. The state of America is in flux!
