Declaration of War - Mike P

 Declaration of War

Esteemed scholar, Members of the Elements Writers’ Group, and residents of the Elements.  Yesterday, was a day which will live in infamy—the Elements was suddenly and deliberately attacked by dark forces inside the Viridian Empire.

Yesterday drivers from the Big Viridian launched an attack against our Elements community.  

Last night Big V forces blasted car horns driving past the Magnolia Center

Last night forces from Big V sped through our stop signs.

Last night Big V forces flew over our speed humps

Last night Big V forces ignored yield-to-pedestrian signs

Last night Big V forces blared loud music after 7pm.

And this morning, Big V forces started it all over again!

Big Viridian has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive throughout the Elements community.  The horrors and facts of yesterday speak for themselves.   The residents of the Elements have already formed their opinions and today speak for themselves.  We understand the implications to our very way of life and safety of our community. 

As commander and chief of the Elements Militia, I have directed that Citizens on Patrol, our bridge demolition team under Commodore Heim, and all other measures be taken for our defense.  Our community will remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the Elements people in our righteous might will win through to absolute victory.  I believe that I interpret the will of the HOA and of the people when I assert that will not only will defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it certain that these forms of treachery shall never cross our two-lane bridge again. 

Hostilities with Big V exist.  There is no blinking at the fact that our aging Boomers, our streets, the Magnolia, and our very existence are in grave danger.  With confidence in our Citizens on Patrol and hot-headed vigilantes, we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.
