As me and my buddies faced down the antiracists, a slogan gathered momentum, I can’t remember which. Steeling ourselves, Hayden yelled a slogan of our own, and his elbow grazed my arm. I almost forgot what we were there for. I watched his chest heave as he countered the leftists. Then I joined in his effort. We all did. Though we were outnumbered, the leftists became frightened by facts and logic, and they began to retreat. We pursued the LARPers in our full gear, and cut them down. A flawless rout. We cheered as the sun reflected off the Willamette and shined doubly on Hayden, giving his beard a fiber optic quality. Then he turned back toward the fleeing army, his back appearing to broaden before my eyes; his trapezius contracting, and releasing.
