The Governor’s Aide

Governor Johnson swaggered across the portico and down the steps of the mansion to his awaiting Lincoln limo. A cold January breeze caught his collar and flapped it up and down like a tethered bird yearning for the sky. As he reached the limo, the driver opened the door for him and he ducked inside quickly. The bird settled down as he sat back, comforted in the warm air of the chief executive’s prime decadent conveyance.

“I hate cold weather,” he bristled to his young aide Stanley Beckman who sat quietly beside him,” waiting on his every word like a Chihuahua with bulging eyes waiting for orders from its master to lay down and roll over.
