Short Story
The United States of America Circa 2003
by
Jose Maria Hazan
You go to Afghanistan to find Osama.
You get deported back to the US.
You sell your story to Hollywood and become famous.
You get addicted to cocaine with your agent while attending celebrity parties.
You fall in love with a porn star.
She leaves you when your fame ends.
You and your agent go after Saddam Hussein.
You both sneak into Iraq and end up in a crumbling palace snorting more cocaine, making plans that never materialize.
