The Dream of the Fathers
Michael Williamson
America in 2178 is just two years away from the country's eighty-fourth presidential election. America will never be the same. Decades of change have lead the American majority to a date with destiny and one man has been propelled to the forefront of American politics. That man, the one man who will deliver the American dream to the disenfranchised majority, is Senator Steven Hidalgo.
But the opposition forces are powerful and practicality has caused them to jetison the cumbersome concepts of ethics and morality for the explicit rewards of success. Their only reality is control and their only chance at continuing that reality is bound within the next presidential election.
Welcome to politics in the twenty-second century, where loyalty and trust are heirlooms to a political landscape that takes no prisoners. But woven like a powerful incantation into the social fabric of the oppressed majority is a two hundred year old love story that offers a last glimmer of hope.
