The Gadget Shop
is a front.  Long
corridors out back–
tunnels of life–open
to shelter for some
of the millions
of refugees who,
targeted by a mad-
man, suffer monumental
losses.  Need to flee
their beloved country.
Owner of the shop,
and his small, loyal
staff, left that same
land years ago, unwilling
to live in dread of
a whip cracking down
on their freedom.  Many
relatives are still
opposed to leaving.  
The shop owner is having
difficulties tracking
them down.  They hold
fast hoping their country
will outlast a psychotic's
wish to overtake them,
killing and bombing
indiscriminately.  The world
watches in horror.
