    why doesn’t America deserve to suffer?

    Voting as Fire Extinguisher

    by Kyle Tran Myhre

    When the haunted house catches fire: a moment of indecision.

    The house was, after all, built on bones, and blood, and bad intentions.

    Everyone who enters the house feels that overwhelming dread, the evil that perhaps only fire can purge.

    It’s tempting to just let it burn.

    And then I remember: there are children inside.
