Flying Away from the Shutdown

PROMPT: Write a funny/satirical entry describing something (or some things) you'd like to get away with now that the US government is in shutdown mode.

-----------------------

Okay, since there wouldn’t be enough eyes to figure out my hidden desires through citizen spying and to see and hinder my resulting actions, I’ll sneak into the hangars and commandeer a space shuttle to go to any other place in the cosmos where there are no governments, shutdowns, political parties, infights or wars.

Phew! Glad you guys are coming with me. Make sure you have some writing implements and stuff with you. Just maybe, we can form and live in a decent community elsewhere. If there are ten of us and each one of us writes a couple of books every year, we’ll have enough reading material to sustain us for some time.
