One of my operatives retrieved body fragments from that "convenient dumpster", and I'll include
one fragment of those unholy relics with every purchase of School of Quietude first editions
currently on my "awaiting conflagration" shelves.

had hung a bright red laundry line, elevated between the Capitol Dome and the upper floor of the
Washington Monument. Against the sunrise, it was possible to make out the figures of George
Bush, Dick Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfolitz, Feith, and a few other architects of the invasion, war
and occupation in Iraq. Ceremonially spaced apart by several feet, each figure was strung up and
hung upside down from his or her heels. The laundry line was motorized in such away that the
figures wheeled back and forth, up and down the mall, the ties of the men flapping in the breeze.
Apparently, digital speakers were placed inside each figure. Those looking up from the mall could
hear a cacophony of voices. “Forgive us. Forgive us. We knew not what we would wrought.” After
that, they went on trying to explain themselves.

with a couple of careful shots. The figures came down to the lawn in a crumbling crash. Security
personnel were seen throwing the remains as quickly as possible into a suddenly convenient
dumpster. No arrests in the incident have yet to be made.
