Challenge
The year is 2076. You have just learned that the newly elected President of Earth is not a human, and you are the only person who knows.
Interview for a Lifetime
“Where do you see yourself in five years?” the President asked. I was one of three finalists interviewing to be the newly-elected President of Earth’s private aide.
Ugh, I never know how to answer that question!
I took a deep breath to calm my shaking nerves and, bravely as I could, replied, “That is not dead which can eternal lie / And with strange aeons, even death may die.”
The President’s eyes narrowed. I quailed under the green gaze.
“Who else knows?”
“Only me, Old One.”
“So, where DO you see yourself in five years?”
“At your side, mighty Cthulhu.”
