A face of stars and stripes shined brightly. he was almost blinded by the flashing cameras, the media all taking pictures of him. After all, he was an abnormality. A force, an alien in his own world.
A countryhuman.
He smiled in his tailored coat and tipped his velvety top hat. He waved his hand and gave a fond smile. But inside, his heart was clenching, his intestines were twisting, and his brain was racing.
"United States of America!" Someone shouted his name. "Do you think communism will take over the country?!"
A microphone was shoved in his face. He was told over and over again not to answer any questions and to just keep walking, but he was too tempted to give the reassurance that he didn't have.
"My country is strong. Communism is a threat, but we will conquer it peacefully."
Before the crowd could ask more questions, he was ushered away by the Secret Service. He was not sure if his response assured or stirred the media even more. He prayed that it wasn't the latter; the last thing he needed was his people to be as worried as he was.
Because the truth was, the country, his country, was not at peace.
It was on the verge of war.
