Discontents

by Russell Streur

Table of Discontents #7

Bureau of Investigation
How the end begins
The bottom line
Faces appear
More complicated than ever
State of emergency
Deep cuts
A bigger test
Radioactive massacre

“The dancers were amazing,”
The choreographer said.
“There was nothing they wouldn’t try.”

We disappear
Human and divine.

Table of Discontents #8

Justice denied
Heat from the Directorate
No surrender to mob rule
Famine downgraded to emergency
Body found
Crew missing
Disaster predicted
Invisible wounds
Business on the mainland

“It is bait,”
the executive director said.
“In the end, uncertainty is the product.”

Another list
Then limbo.
