FOLDED IN

At the DA's press conference following the release of the insurrectionists known as "The Portland Four", their leader gave an impromptu interview to a young reporter. Now Brad Wood at KWAX-TV in Wala Wala, Washington wants to know who his Intern videographer caught on camera: “Who the hell is this guy wearing a 'Vote for Sacajawea' t-shirt, who hints that the NFL colluded with the Biden Campaign, accuses his buddies in Antifa of selling out, and then just walks off into the sunset?!”
Peter Finnegan’s life in Portland, Oregon was going along smoothly. He was getting good grades in college, had the perfect clothes, and in his off-hours, he showed up at all the “right” demonstrations as a charter member of ANTIFA. Yup! Things were going along just great. That is, until the 2020 presidential election.
That’s when Peter was; outcast by Antifa, jailed without bail, dropped by his girlfriend, chomped on by his Golden Retriever, doomed to enlist in the "Build Back Better Clinton Corps", and alarmed that the Nobel Prize was awarded for a Peace Plan that had been…imagineered!
And in the end, all it took to redeem him was a trip home to visit his bougie family, and a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
"Folded In" is a politically infused, rollicking ‘coming of age' short-story set in the immediate future. it’s a fast forty-five minute read with memorable characters and a Thanksgiving dinner that proves that life around your family’s holiday dinner table isn’t as weird as you think!
And remember, it's only “fiction” if life doesn't turn out this way!
It's all just gets Folded In!
