Whither Gadhafi?
Salon is running a collection of short stories imagining either the escape or final days of Moammar Gadhafi. J. Robert Lennon's take is called "Blood in the Corners".
Ah, shit. Didn't work. And he messed up the bottom corners. Tries to remember what he did, to do it in reverse. Right, right, up. Left? No, right...It's like his life - you think you're planning things out, you think you've created order. But chaos creeps in, doesn't it. There's no keeping it at bay.
Cosmos, Rubik's Cube and a windowless transport. Not quite Saddam's rathole, though not much better.
