But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?
Mark Twain
Not I, Mr. Twain, not I.
There is nothing that our two leaders have done or will do that 45+ percent of the American population will not overlook and blame on someone else, nothing.
Not even this.
It will happen; and when it does, it will be on all our souls.
This is not a game.
It will be on our leaders’ souls for willfully making it happen;
and it will be on our souls for letting it happen.
Please dear God have mercy on our souls for we know not what we do.
Research the Iranian Nuclear “Deal.”
Do you believe for a moment, they will not use it against the “enemies” of Allah?

If this doesn’t scare you, you are either brain dead or heartless.
Gather your children, your grandchildren, and your great grandchildren.
Try to apologize to them for not loving them enough.
That should make them feel much better as they are incinerated.
At least they won’t have to suffer for long.

“A Night at the Opera”
A Tragic Trilogy – Part I
First published: March 27, 2015 – 3160 words – Adult - fiction – free
By Apollos Rivoire - ISBN – 9781311317605
This short story is the first of three interconnected stories that lead to an unexpected place.
Many of us are creatures of routine. We establish an activity or series of activities in life that we love. The pleasure they give encourages us to pursue a like pattern over and over. Such was the life of Robert Coninghame. His love was immersing himself in the art of opera. The highlight of that enjoyment was attending an expertly composed and executed opera by unequaled performers and musicians in a magnificent theater. When he was not attending an opera he was immersed in reading and learning about every aspect of this marvelous world. His passion for the opera was equaled by no other endeavor, until . . .
One night, in a moment, a chance encounter crushed his precisely arranged life and neatly compartmentalized existence. It rearranged his priorities for the rest of his life. Follow Robert through a trilogy of stories that began with “A Night at the Opera” and ended most unusually. The “no smoking” sign is on, buckle your seatbelts, and check the life preserver under your seat (literally). This may be an unconventional, thought provoking, and turbulent trip to a place you were not expecting to go.
