The patients had assembled in the common area of the Peaceful Valley Nursing Home
Rumors were rampant since the e-mail was sent and this announcement seemed more significant than the kitchen would no longer use cups of styrofoam
The democrats were once again in control thanks to 12 million new voters
And the geriatric set were worried by the sound bytes heard from the socialist promoters
The new America would now be powered by a labor force that were paid and shared on an equal basis
The orders had been passed down from high by the controlling group, powerful but faceless
As it turns out the senior citizens were only thought of as “unnecessary eaters”
Though sturdy in their younger years, they’d been warehoused in Peaceful Valley as medical office visit repeaters
So the meds would be doled out on a priority basis, given first to those able to self-care
And the bedridden unable to make this meeting could only hope the weekly tip to the CNA could get them another week of slumping in the chair
Alliances were quickly formed by the mobile uprights to help each other exist a little longer
Knowing a strong team that eliminated others could only make them stronger
Suddenly the sweet woman in 219 was a liability as she was decrepit and eighty-five
Medical devices quickly became weapons as people sought to hold on to their meds that kept them alive
Canes became slashing tools and oxygen tanks were pressurized bombs, with wheelchairs used as battering rams
These folks were locked and loaded, feeling true terror as this wasn’t one of the many democrat scams
The idea of ridding the country of the “unnecessary eaters” was now law endorsed by all the socialist supporters
With the Peaceful Valley Nursing Home being repurposed as a complex for 15 illegal migrant family living quarters
Little did the current residents know but Big Pharma was involved and had a plan for those living there
The meds they are willing to fight for have been altered with poison and cause them to vanish into thin air
