John Stokes, a one-time U.S. Secretary of State who was allegedly patriotic and loved by all, died on the 12th of June while on a mission in England.
He served from 1996 to 2002, and his death was mourned by everyone.
Exposing a bit of the tension currently present in the world, two days after his death, a new secretary was appointed, Pavel Navel.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Pavel gave a heart-warming speech following his appointment to office. He swore to uphold the country's laws, protect it, and ensure peace both at home and abroad.
Tall with broad shoulders and just in his late thirties, Pavel was quite charismatic. Every person of substance in the U.S. knew what he looked like, especially the killer of his predecessor.
I wasn't one to be paranoid or superstitious despite my interactions with the supernatural, but the presence of Pavel a few floors above me had me uncomfortable.
My worry didn't stem from fear for my life, but rather from the system.
