The closet in my parents’ room was off limits.
My little sister and I decided to sneak a peak while they were outside. To our surprise, the closet was full of toys!
Of course we never let on. We’d heard children who stopped believing in Santa didn’t get toys on Christmas morning.

“We’ve been told to stand down, Skip’.”
“This came from the top? From command?”
“Just repeating what I heard…and saw. Here’s the order in black and white.”
“Why are we here then, if not to evacuate folks?”
“I heard they didn’t pay their bills.”
“The whole goddamned country is in debt. Are we just gonna let ‘em die?! I can’t just sit here in the harbor and let that happen. These are fellow Americans we’re talking about.”
“Apparently there was a question about that too. They can’t vote after all.”
“Bastard! What a moron! Pull anchor Smitty. We’re going in.”
