Modern Satire

I can't believe it. I can't believe that he's really really doing. Get me the President. Never in my life did I think this mad man would do what he's done. He is really plotting to destroy whatever life we have left. Think of all the people, think of all the lives. I cannot stand by another minute and watch him tear this world apart. No not on my watch as Secretary-General. It is time to aligned forces. It is time to bring the team together. We must stop this man right in his tracks. And Secretary-General Abel made the order for the team to get together as he was talking nonstop to diplomats around the world including the President of the United States. One sunny day, Mrs. Reef was teaching class to a group of high schoolers. She was a good teacher who learned her craft. She was planning her lifelong dreams and spending more time with family. And that's when she got the called. It was a strange one 800 number. And they kept calling her until her husband pick up. And he got a hold of Mrs. Reef as soon as he could. Mrs. Reef made no promises but she listen. One thing she was good at was listening. And she had listening skills sharper than a fox. And she asked the usual questions how important and what if she can't. She wanted to know the gravity of the situation. She could not make any promises because the team hasn't gotten together in such a long long time. And many have move on. Mrs. Reef was the captain and she contacted the second in command Ms. Olive. Ms. Olive worked with Mrs. Reef for several years and they consistently made progress. After meeting with her about the issue, they tried to figure out how to get the other three. It happened Mrs. Johns watched the news and the big announcement from the President and Secretary-General. Mrs. Johns had the mother's touch and she knew how to sense when necessary is necessary. She was willing to fight even if it means leaving her comfort. She was ready and sharp. She did not want another minute to pass by without trying to save the world. Now it was three but the other two. Mrs. Johns figured out a way to get Mr. CT who was a jack of all trades. Mr. CT could fix anything. He could just read and see videos and could get the job done in less than a hour. He was an owner of a mechanic and he settled for managing and working on automobiles. He loved his life but when the three showed up, he knew it was time to get saving the world. Mrs. Johns led the way she knew Mr. CT because they were afterall colleagues and business partners. Mr. CT was resistant at first but when he saw the gravity of the issue he was compelled. He was fire up along with the other three. Ms. A was the last one and she was not totally convinced but she felt called to do. She was always called to interactive video games and she liked the action and fun. Then Mr. CT convinced her to join and she was hesitated then she joined after she saw the need for her. And so the five heroes were together. And now on saving the world. So the five heroes called the Secretary-General office and the offer their assistance. The Secretary-General said it is a potential threat. And they asked questions to find out the severity of the situation. Mrs. Reef suggested with the others to spy and questions. Mrs. Johns said get it on camera. Mr. CT says you got to play the cards. Ms. A says to gamble with him. Ms. Olive says to play back and forth until you get to the bottom of it. Then the President of the United States came in on the call and introduced herself Mrs. Cleveland. And she interviewed the five heroes and asked them about their input. The President offered to give them a medal of freedom each if the plan works. So the Secretary-General tried the plan at first the plan was shaky but the five heroes were on the line typing what to say to the Secretary-General's office. And after some hours of ranting by the foe, he revealed his plan. The Secretary-General offered to meet the demands in exchange for peaceful means. And after the call ended, the military called the Secretary-General who located the dictator and the five heroes won without a single conflict or battle. The four heroes shouted out loud when they found out that they averted the conflict that Girls rule. And they celebrated and Mr. CT coughed. And they said oh yeah Girls and Guy rule. Mr. CT said The Five Heroes Rule. And they celebrated with the rest of the world quietly at that moment awaiting a bigger celebration within the months of defeating the dictator. After several months, the five heroes welcome to the White House and each given a medal for years of tireless effort to advocate peaceful means.
