I’m being glib but you get the idea.īut there are also writers who are not that crazy-town and honestly they are amongst my favorite authors. It’s a bunch of American Patriots getting a bunch of guns and building themselves a bunker to save themselves from the Democrat hordes.

Bedded at their bases in massive, steeply gabled end walls, twin minarets raised broken bulbous domes high over the landscape, their boarded windows glooming like hooded eyes. A once-courtyard in the 'U' of polyglot wings was now roofed over, its roof painted to match the surrounding terrain. A house or mansion of debased heritage and mixed architectural antecedents, several recent wings were of modern brick on old stone foundations, while others were cheap breeze blocks camouflaged in grey and green paint.
