Conditions
A play promoting capitalism provokes a resounding response.
Dasmer Fence walked the planks. “I’ve been trying to make capitalism not a noxious term but a term of love and truth. Thank you.”
The applause deafened. It lasted for ten minutes. People threw roses on stage. He walked backstage and the applause grew louder. Then he joined the cast and somehow, the applause grew even louder. This actually hurt their ears. Fence came out and quieted the crowd. Blood actually streamed from the ears of the audience and the play’s actors.
Everyone received treatment. No serious injuries persisted. Fence said, “Thank you, but don’t clap!” The crowd just laughed.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
