Romulus sat at his pc, playing tetris. Despite getting a selection of the latest games, and having the most state of the art pc available, years of babysitting a world with lil bro ready to go beserk at any stage, had reduced Romulus to this. Anything more exciting than tetris sent his heart rate up, and he had to go for a lie down.
Romulus glanced up at the Green Phone. He was starting to miss it ringing. Even if answering it was usually met with "Rommie, do you think I should blow up the French / Spanish / English / Greeks
"
As he glanced at it
it rang. He stared dumbfounded for a few moments, but it only continued ringing insistently.
Hello? He answer hesitantly.
Rommie!! Space is boring. Its just
like empty. There arent even any flies!!!
Shouldnt you be in cryogenic storage?
Nah, thats boring. But one of our scientists invented faster than light communication!! So now, I can phone my Deputy President directly. Oh, and you, Rommie. Rommie, why didnt you remind me to take any flies?
Romulus stared at the tetris screen. It said, Game Over. He picked up his blood pressure medication.
A few weeks later, he had to double his dosage
) BRAVO!

. Must have been the -4 for close borders (I've never seen it that high, probably only Monty) that drove him over the edge
