I've gotten into the habit of sleeping with my TV on lately. The feeling that more of the story will slowly trickle out hasn't left yet. The feeling that there IS more to the story is very strong as well. But local news has returned to its usual schedule, though programming remains recycled on the broadcast channels; nonexistent on national networks.
Was just clawed awake by the all-too-familiar and all-too-effective EBS broadcast beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. The following disembodied voice indicated that all citizens were to report in to the nearest city hall, at their convenience, within the next two weeks.
Well, fair enough, I figure, strange times call for strange measures. Probably something census-like to assess post-attack impact. Yet...
"Failure to do so, without official, documented permission," the voice intoned, "would lead to arrest and potential loss of citizenship."
"To repeat," the voice emphasized, "please report to your local government office by 5:00 pm May 31 for important information regarding the state of the nation and national communication. Failure to do so is a felony that will result in arrest and potential loss of citizenship."
Loss of citizenship?
Seriously?
MUST be important. Or maybe something happened to national records? That makes more sense. Shouldn't read too much into this.
The pamphlet from yesterday turned out to be a list of job openings in our local government offices. Guardian angels exist?
