Holocaust City

Alan Sondheim

Sammy hates everyone. He has aids, he kills with box-cutters. Cynthia is hated by everyone. She has a kid and she's on drugs. She dropped out of high-school, make that grade-school. She's abused. She is starving. Blacks and jews hate each other and then they make peace and hate each other again. Actually, it's from out of town. Actually it's from down the street. Evil white men who are old, wear glasses, run everybody into the dirt. Sammy has a plan, make that Cynthia. The men fuck a whore, kill her, burn her body. Cynthia will kill the president. She'll tie him up and let rats gnaw him to death. She'll give him horror food. She'll call an ambulance; it won't arrive on time. She'll blind him. She'll let him bleed to death on the ambulance floor. Later the mayor will call an investigation. Later, after the president is dead. The mayor fucks Cynthia's child. Cynthia's child has no eyes. Fires burn out of control around Sammy, everywhere Sammy goes. He looks at a building and it bursts into flame. He looks at another and it bursts into flame. People burn in the fires. Their eyes burst first, then they die. Police are shot on the streets in their cars. Police are shot walking or slashing a suspect. They have organized into a separate state. They even have their own currency and laws. They run things their own way. Cynthia has plans for them but first Sammy has plans for them and is busy with the plans. The president is shot but only wounded so he can die slowly seeing the harm he has done. Republicans! Don't you know what you have been doing? Can't you smell the stink of your own evil? Can't you see the fear in people's faces? Can't you feel the misery all around you? Can't you sense the suffering? Your children will die blind in Holocaust City! I will rip your eyes out! Sammy writes these words and puts them along the route the dying president has taken to the hospital. He puts them on phone poles.
