Today we got him. Today our future starts because of the brave Team.
The word spread in the streets, He was dead, He was captured, He was being executed. Nobody cared for the truth it was enough to know that He would not be a menace to our society anymore. The streets filled and chats began to fill the air, “All hail Team!”
There was no memory of a time before He was a menace; it had filled the radio and the TV for the last 50 years, the terrors that He had caused. Every murder was shown to be connected to him, the radio informed us that we needed to watch, to be aware because anyone could be his agents. None of us knew who He was; we just knew that He was evil. He was the reason that our economy was down, he was the reason that poor family of 5 had frozen to death in the last power outage. Our rage against Him had grown. We hated Him and we made it clear, children’s toys were sold with the slogan “Teach your kid what’s right; teach them about Him and evil.” Movies all had the same bad guy in them, a man, faceless with many faces, it was Him. Oh we loved to hate Him, our rations got cut and we had a riot, we carried a faceless mannequin with a name tag on him, the tag said “HIM”, through the streets and we burned it. Sometimes we would mutilate it first and the children would come up and kick it and spit on it. At the end of these riots we would go back to our houses and on our way we would sing the songs off the radio.
Soon He will fall,
And the fall will be great!
Soon will our leaders
Triumph in strength!

It is funny to me now looking back at this night, that night that we heard He was dead, not one of us questioned who he was. We never had questioned before so why would we then? I guess that is the only explanation. The following months we had worked so hard, we loved our country and we worked to make it better. Without an enemy we knew that soon we would all be living in paradise, soon there would be food for everyone, our houses would be ours and not shared, we would have power through the long cold nights. These thoughts powered us and we sang happily as we worked. But around 6 months after that night, the lazier ones began to slow, by 8 months we were all slowing down. Life was still the same.
A year after the night of celebration there was a public announcement, it was on the radios and the TV’s, and it was on the Billboards and the Newspapers. “HE IS BACK” It read in black banners, and under it “We need your help to make it through this trying time.”

I am just an old man now, there is nothing they can do to punish me, and I would die if they tried to torture me so I will put forward my thoughts. I have sent this to as many as I could get it to, so if you are receiving this please take some time and think about this. I am sure that “He” exists still and will exist in the coming days. I am also sure that “He” will be killed and resurrected as the need for money and power ebbs and flows. I do not know what you can do but use your mind. You are young and able, I am too old.

I am reusing this one because I have to leave work. Enjoy!
