The Iron Cage

<p>  It's 1988 (western Christian timeframe). The world has changed irrevocably. And it keeps changing.</p><p> It may not look that way. After the storm there's calm. Ronald Reagan is still president of the United States. The United States and other important power centers remain. Everything looks the same. People shrug and tell themselves that nothing will ever truly change. But an unrest is brewing. Since the nineteen-sixties there have been urban guerilla groups fighting those power centers in Europe and also sporadically in the United States and Japan and other places besides.</p><p> The current world is a cage he thinks an iron grip strangling the Human Being destroying everything making life worth living.</p><p> He's had enough. He has been preparing for years and now is the time to strike to strike back at the oppressors with impunity. People gather around him. They've done so for years as they gather around others.</p><p> So vulnerable he thinks. They're all so vulnerable. Ted Liz Eric Frank June Ethel Nick Carla and the rest. They don't know what to do with the world with themselves but I do and I'm gonna show them show them beyond doubt what must be done.</p><p> He's exploding during those few critical spring moons and the world is exploding with him. The stage is set and this time the world is truly changed forever.</p><p></p>
