The Last of the Lookalikes
Sequel to The Takeover
Vivian and Elon watched as the spaceship filled with lookalikes launched into the night sky, destined for the middle of nowhere.
“Remind me why I am not on that ship?” Elon asked.
“Because I need you…for now,” Vivian replied, “but that could change at any moment, so watch yourself.”
Elon paled and nodded.
“So, you’re going to back off the EU like we discussed and let the DOJ release the Epstein files?”
Elon crossed his fingers behind his back.
“That is what we agreed upon.”
“Good. Because if you don’t—” Vivian’s eyes glowed— “I can still cover up your death.”

The Day It Rained Popcorn at the County Fair
Aunt Faye was determined to see Elvis, even if it meant making a fool of herself. So when she heard the King was performing at the county fair, she went into a state of adrenaline-induced panic. First thing she did was go down to Dalke’s Drug Store and load up on loud lipstick, eyeliner, makeup, and a bottle of cheap perfume. On the way home, she stopped at Larry’s Liquor Store and bought a fifth of tequila and a whole box of those little bottles of chasers.
