The Story of the Revolution

Xavier de Salaberry, People's First Commissar of the Democratic Republic of Yugoamerica, sat down at his desk, and opened his Laptop. He powered up his word processing program, slid in a disk, and continued to work on his memoirs. Finally, he thought, the interesting stuff. He started to type, reliving those glorious days when he didn't lead a nation, he led a revolution.

I walked into our mountain headquarters. It had been six months since I ran away from the Imperial Internment camps. According to his holy majesty's henchmen, I was clinically insane, because I was educated but i didn't believe in the imperial power structure. So they put me in their camps and tortured me with all sorts of power cords and phychothearputic drugs. Eventually i escaped, and came to a lonely road in the woods, that i walked until i was picked up by a man named Pintov. That wasn't his real name, of course, but it was his code-name. Everyone in the revolution had a code-name. Mine, for example, was Spirit. After six months of training and indoctrination, I was sent on my first mission. Relatively simple, I had to knock out a corrupt missionary sect's broadcasting station. It was fairly simple. I went into the plaza where the tower was, left my backpack loaded with C4 in the field, pushed a button setting the 30 minute timer, then left. The day after i heard the report: The tower was flattened. At the same time, rubble had fallen on and killed a civilian. It was incredible how much guilt i felt. For many days i isolated myself, until Pintov came to me and said words i still hold dear to this day. "Every single person that isn't with us in this revolution is against us. Remember: That man was responsible for every single second of torture you endured, because he knows, just like the whole public knows, and he didn't say anything against it. He was an enemy of the people of this nation, and so is every person out there who doesn't join us."

A few month's later, we started running out of food and ammunition, so we raided an Imperial supply dump a couple of miles south of our position, and made off with about 200 magazines for our stolen FAMAS rifles and food to last us a year, plus two transport trucks and a scout car. Unfortunately, it came with a loss. My mentor, Pintov, was shot three times in major organs. I was kneeling over him as he died on the way to our base. I tried to assure him he was going to live, but he only answered with his last words: "Don't you see!? It doesn't matter! My death doesn't matter! Because every time someone like me dies, and someone like you witnesses it and is angered by it, the revolution gains a hundred friends. People will know what we did today, and they will fight on. My death doesn't matter. As long as you continue my memory, a difference of a thousand men will be made..." With that, he took one last breath, and with one convulsion, his heart stopped. After making our way back, we listened to radio reports, both from our stations and the propoganda stations the imperials used. We figured since there was a bias on both sides, so the truth was somewhere in between. The imperials, just as expected, didn't have a single news flash about our raid on their supply dump. But it wouldn't matter, because we had the memery.
