Rival silhouettes dangle from marionette strings held by giant shadowed hands; apart stands imposing older man with a sweeping golden pompadour mane, heavy brow, small intense eyes, strong jowled jaw, long dark suit, very long red necktie flowing like a battle banner, no strings upon him

This week in the saga

The party elders present their scroll, and before the faceless lenses he signs the Pledge — then shows the realm the price he alone pays, turning away chests of gold while the other candidates dangle from their donors' strings, 100% CONTROLLED. He commits his strangest heresy yet, demanding higher taxes from the gold-counting lords of his own class. As the week closes, he turns toward Washington: the Capitol, and the Iran deal, await.
