What I Saw at the Coup

I came across this bit of short fiction by happy accident and had to share it. This short story is written by Matt Bracken, about whom I know nothing. But I found it both entertaining and compelling and read through it all in one sitting. In this story the author, a lefty who is a presidential advisor, tells of her involvement in a covert plan to undermine the constitution and to get rid of all those pesky conservatives in order to usher in the glorious socialist utopia that all leftists dream of. Sadly for her things don’t quite work out as planned. But I don’t want to give away any details, so I shall say no more. I will only say that you may find, as I did, that some of this story sounds remarkably familiar and not so far-fetched as one might have thought just a few years ago.
