Victor’s usual trip home started with the smell of black smoke roaring out of his outdated combustion engine. Upset that he’d missed his daughter’s play, he threw a book about global warming into the trash. In his acknowledgment that he was just a little man in a world filled with brutal thinkers, he decided to watch the news. It appeared as though a man thirsty for power was giving his campaign speech.
“In my quest to be leader of this great nation, I will deport every illegal immigrant in this country as soon as I become president.”
These were the words of George Who. George Who was a politician from an old cloth in a new generation and no one took him seriously but the people on the frontlines. These were the people who were eager for things to go back to what they felt was normal, but sadly, in this game there were people who followed the law and there were people who broke it. George Who was known for being a loose cannon. A man with little political experience, but brutal business tactics. He was feared, only because he showed little empathy for the common man. This was what the majority wanted. For years they were waiting for someone who was bold enough to point out the obvious. The fact that there were people milking the system, but sadly, George Who was also guilty of his own objections. He hired illegal workers and even had a record of throwing people off of their property for his own business gains. In this case, the law was everyone’s own worst enemy and George Who was drowning in his own lust for power. Idolized by his followers, old spells of hatred began to emerge and as the sun shined bright, leaders began to choose unnecessary wars. The tribalism soon turned into riots and protests sparking philosophical thinkers to conclude that action and thought have a lot to do with impulsive responses that in the end reveal in some cases unintended motives. This became evident when people started migrating to have better living conditions, but may have obviously been ill-informed about certain laws. In business they would call it word of mouth and once one person heard about great lands filled with opportunity the buses were filled. This became evident, and one group of logical thinkers became outnumbered during election time. The battle became so intense that George Who almost lost his life in what appeared to be an assassination attempt. Mystified in political illusions and conspiracies people began to point the blame at just about everything and everyone. Human empathy soon began to fade as the obvious became evident. Strange and brutal crimes began to unfold and doctors treating the mentally insane had to reason with the fact that in a world with over a billion people, it’s impossible to treat them all and many slip through the cracks. Unfortunately, more and more people snuck into the country, while those who followed the rules began to question what is fair. This is what got George Who elected and with every stroke of the pen the media basked in the madness that came with enforcing presidential orders. They called it the Sun Migration, and no one was immune because as things got worse and worse, just about everyone began to look for a safe place to call home. In the end, the Sun Migration proved one thing, and that is the fact that most people want the same things, and how we perceive reality plays a big part in why we migrate to get what we want. In this small story, you have the law, citizens who feel cheated, a man eager to achieve power, a sun in the sky being blamed for making the world hotter, people migrating to find a better life, and people breaking the law. So to conclude, the losers are the people who actually have the right intentions, and to them, they’re stuck in an illogical situation. The challenge is how do you follow laws when you’re out numbered by people who have broken them? All while the sun keeps shining and people keep migrating. Under the radar, if it’s intentional, is it an invasion? Is it the sun causing the earth to warm up or is it the people? In the end it didn’t matter because George Who had his mind made up.
