Return the King, Chapter 1
Chapter One November 22, 1963 Dallas, Texas The weather is really something special today, Sarah Jones thought as she strolled through downtown Dallas.

What to expect on a day like today
I Can’t Keep Quiet

A Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality is defined when the country’s regime uses mass media, propaganda, lies, patriotism and demonstrations to create a vision of their leader as heroic and to be worshipped. We see it all the time in nations that we would normally denounce.
