Day One

"Day One" is a short scifi story by K. Duncan, published December 2024 in Trollbreath Magazine. The author notes "It's more or less a manifesto. It's about what could happen, and what has to." and "A 2023 that might have happened, in braver, more just world". He was still a shill for corporations and developers, for charter schools, still worthless on prison and poverty, but it was like an electric shock and a game-end Gatorade soak to hear him say “I am ordering the immediate disarmament of the Philadelphia Police Department.”
"If you directed the police to disarm, would they obey your lawful orders or legislation?" is a question that should absolutely be asked at city council meetings.
