This is funny. Who are you suppose to be? President Biden. I can imagine whoever is suppose to be the only one with the neuclear code doesn't need to be losing it. Anyone over seventy shouldn't be depended on not to have a panic attack.

Ah, this must be about our current President. Now it makes perfect sense. If that sounds bad, imagine Kamala taking over. Things can always get worse...

Good morning, Jim. I hope you have a bright Sunday.
Your story reflects my feelings sometimes, though I doubt anyone would trust me with the nuclear codes!
You help the reader understand confusion.
Excellent story in 80 words,
Best wishes,
Cindy

We are dogged by codes, numbers and passwords these days and forgetting them is not an option as it prevents us from living a normal life! I enjoyed your confused state of mind as it happens to all of us Jim, a magical post, love Dolly x

Okay. You made me laugh with this one. Since I'm the same age as our beloved president, and forget things on a consistent basis, I have great understanding of the feeling - and I'm certain it doesn't interfere the least bit with his brilliance or mine. Or yours.

This was a very interesting piece of flash fiction! I could feel the stress and confusion. The last line was the perfect way to end the story. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Clever, As it is a Saturday, no hope for six stars. I love the ironic twist as you well know. This kinda snuck up on me. I like that when it happens. Karen :-)

You're "out of your mind," if you don't think like the majority thinks, or do what the majority does, or live like the majority. The greater population determines what sanity is (whether they're right or wrong), just like they determine who their president will be. They won't hear or care about you if you're not like them. This is a thought-provoking flash. Best wishes in the contest.

It's ironic as our president steps out of office, I was elected President of the residents here. I don't feel much more capable than he.
Comment from lyenochka
Considering the imperfect people humans are, it's a daunting thing to have access to the "nuclear codes." But we know even when the president had the face of the presidency, often someone else was running the show. Even back when Woodrow Wilson had a stroke, it was his wife Edith who ran the country behind closed doors.
Best wishes in the contest!
