Lost Honor

For honor. For the future.

They were the words I lived by. The ones that had won me the election. They had earned me a seat amongst the country's leaders. They had kept the public's trust me in. But they were all lies.

Honor had left a long time ago. And a future? Sometimes I wondered if I would live to see tomorrow. I was the rising politician. The upstanding leader amongst the elite and corrupt. But I wasn't any better. Influence and money could make anything go away, though. Except him...Nunew. My new campaign manager. So straight and narrow it was almost laughable. Sure, he was my type. Dark eyes, a trim waist. But it would take more than that to get me under him.
