*** Yay! Over the moon for winning this micro contest. It's such an honour!*** Huge thanks to the SmokeLong team and EIC Christopher Allen.I almost didn't enter as the story was not meant to be about Trump, and it needed to be at least loosely about a train wreck. I wrote about it metaphorically, alluding to what is going on.
