Hi Joe

Rufus

Long time

Too long

I see your poetry is going well

Do not flatter me

You are a visionary and you know it

But that is not why I rang

Is Billie okay

She is fine

I hear she is in the US

In Flagstaff visiting her sister

We have a novel way of keeping in touch

That being

There is a webcam at the railroad station

She either alone or with Benny

Stands in full view of the camera

Sounds fun

It is different especially when one of the Z trains pass

As I have had some time to spare

I have been reading various novels

Some are quite good but most are mundane

That said I am reading

You are all Guilty

It was written by William B Good

It is a very nihilistic novel and as cold as ice

In short it is about the future leader

Of a fictional county

Who is elected on a socialist ticket

You can guess what happens

Obviously he is very well protected

But a lone assassin who shares your name

Decides to bring him down

He does so by hitting softer targets

The cousin of the Prime Minister

And the sister of one of his acolytes

These are connected

And the country goes into a meltdown

The assassin then goes to ground

There is no contact

Which makes things even worse

What happens

Does this lone wolf

Bring the Prime Minister down

Yes and no

Explain

The novel does not conclude

The reader is left to their own conclusions
