He spreads his arms and rises from the Earth. His hair spreads in a radiant golden halo surrounding his magnificent cranium. His slow ascent rockets to mind boggling speeds as he bruns through the atmosphere. The chaos suddenly turns to calm as the Earth’s gaseous membrane is left behind. The Dear Leader Paul floats elegantly through the cosmos. The cosmic rays and physical heat of the sun do not singe his skin or hair, both fragrantly coated in a layer of Dr. Bronner’s finest soap. The Center of The Universe appears out before him. There it is.

The Dear Leader Paul reaches for the crystal clear bottle. Clear as ICE. Its clarity interrupted only by the spicy carbonation within. The twist off cap yields easily before the great power of His hands, gentle yet strong like the love in his heart. He touches the cool glass to his lips. “ICE ICE ICE ICE ICE” come the cheers of all the Dear Leaders of all the Outing Clubs of all the Planets of all the Universe. He finishes, but he is locked in eternity. One with the bottle. One with the Universe. He returns to us now and before and forever onwards more knowledgeable and ready to lead.

James Pardo Secretary of it All.
