FICTION Impossible diplomacy by Justin Jones Li I ’ve almost certainly been sent to die. We’ve already sent in tens of ambassadors, envoys, emissaries and diplomats. They never come back. And if I recall, there was always something not quite right about them. Wasn’t Jimmy accused of embezzlement that one time? Oh whatever. We’re past the gates to the city. There’s the embassy! It’s so good to finally see someone not wearing one of those creepy masks. The guards smile as we make it through. Is there something behind those smiles? Do they know what happens to our fine citizens? The carriage stops at the front door. I get out with the two local escorts who were keeping watch on me. They’ve still got those white discs covering their faces, with those pitch black slits for eyes and a thin smile painted on. One of my escorts knocks on the door. It opens. Another masked figure appears. We walk in. The locals lead me through the building. The walls are painted pink and decorated with little claw marks. I notice the smell of mint in the air. I think it might be soothing me. They lead me to a door with a smiley face painted on in black. Just like on their masks. It’s starting to take effort to breathe. The door opens on its own, and the locals usher me through. It leads to a corridor with open doors on either side. The locals gesture towards each one as we walk past. I think they’re letting me take a peek. I see skeletons on the floor. The ground feels like it’s being taken from under me. The locals hold me up, and they basically drag me along. My legs shake as they slide across the floor. More skeletons. What will befall me? What do these people want with us? I see an emaciated man lying on his belly. Life returns to my feet. I shrug off the locals and run back to the room. It’s Jimmy! Thin and exhausted, but unmistakably it is him. But why is he in this room? I take a closer look. Right in front of Jimmy is a white cat. He seems to be lifting his hand, trying to… pet this cat. I have to get out of here. I turn around to fight off my captors. Their mask and clothes fell apart, and two cats emerged from each set. They all meow at me. So cute! Why would I want to leave? Oh, I just want to pat them all! Hey, where are they going? Come here, kitty-kitty! 58 | Lot’s <strong>Wife</strong>
