Over 100, but oh well. It's a good story.

"We're all going on a road trip," the father said to his family. They all looked at each other in confusion. "Come on!" and he went out the door.

"We're all going on a road trip," the mother said to the rest of the family. Her children and their grandmother gave half-smiles. "Come on!" and she went out the door.

"We're all going on a road trip," the children said to their grandmother excitedly. She stood slowly, her aged body fragile. "Come on!" and they went out the door.

The grandmother searched frantically. She found her Siamese cat Buttons under the rocking chair. "We're all going on a road trip," she said as she scooped him up in her arms. "Come on!"

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
