Excerpt
"The demonstration should be made public," said Mra Tarkin, the most important person in my administration. She walked over to me, her hardened glare pierced me. "We need to continue to show the masses what happens to dissidents."

"No, it should not. We need not make a public example of her death. The populace is well within our grasp, and the risk of inciting people to turn on us with what I have planned is not worth it. Her demise is more than sufficient. The lifeless body will quell the remaining dissent."

Mra snickered and brushed back her brown hair. My advisor's deep eyes seemed to glow at the prospect of having finally completed the process of taking down all vestiges of the former government. The parliament had been dissolved only months ago, and it was a largely popular move, seeing as my faction controlled the legislative body. The leading opposition, the Arrain Makila, was scattered and in exile across the planet—and even the sector. The media, which I run personally, has done an outstanding job convincing the Eriaduan peoples that this event was for the benefit of our society. Hope, change, and progress is our new future.
