Synopsis: A father arranges for a religious fanatic to murder his wife and there's a good chance the teenage son will be next on the list. So how does the youngster react? Simple. He locks all the doors and windows, blames the crime on anyone he knows who happens to share the same religion as the murderer (however vague), whispers a few religious platitudes of his own, sticks a photograph of his mother on the mantelpiece out of respect, and then asks his father to do more to protect him.

Dramatis personæ: The 'Son' in our little drama was performed collectively by the unthinking masses; the 'Wife' was none other than the twisted, innocent and maimed; the 'Father' was played by a state official with links to a Zionist intelligence agency; and, finally, making a special cameo appearance, the 'Murderer' was one of the pseudo-Islamic terrorists they recruit. Please don't worry if this is all way over your head, they're showing Cinderella next week.
