“Equal at last,” she said aloud, closing her eyes.
The law had passed that granted the rights of this group be
no greater and no less than that group.
Together, they were free.
The euphoria that had swept the country swirled through her bedroom as
she dreamed of the future.
Then she heard the crash. Footsteps.
Pounding. Yelling. She looked out her window and saw
police forcing her handcuffed neighbor into a car. Another officer followed with a pile of books and a hard
drive.
Closing the blinds, she said in silence, “...at long last.”
