Bitchin'.

However, the statues aren't of Ceausescu, Princip or Lenin. And the 
dealer, Sosnowski, isn't a dealer.

Sosnowski owns a large home near Fort Worth. At the end of every 
month, and only at the end of every month, he visits the basement.
Opposite the entrance, there's a faded, white-painted wooden door,
propped against the wall. As Sosnowski enters, the white door rattles 
as if someone had just bumped against it.

And somewhere in the dirt, dust and assorted mementoes of this history 
buff, there's a new statue. It doesn't look new, as it'll be covered 
with undisturbed dust, maybe an old hat, or some bundled chicken 
wire. But it definitely wasn't there last month.

And though you might take one look at the statue of Lenin and guess 
'It's Lenin', it's not. It might be Mikhael rather than Vladimir,
another Lenin from another parallel (or previous) history. You might 
find a moustacheless Stalin, from a time when Russia joined the Axis.
You might find a statue of arch-dictator Johann Teins, Emperor of 
The American Empire, or perhaps even a deft portrait of the oppressive 
Pope William, formerly Toges.

Joe.
