Sorry We Missed You!

Sorry We Missed You! is a dystopian satire of life in a future United States. After receiving an incredibly disturbing piece of mail from her beloved neocon-government, our anti-heroine, a lesbian mother of two surrogate daughters, determines that she has no choice but to immediately escape the country. She makes a solo break for the very dangerous Eastern border, which is a charnel house in every sense of the word.
Sorry We Missed You! is the story of one woman’s desperate attempt to navigate the convoluted and purposefully bewildering system of neo-corporate-governance. Yes, the Good Ol’ U.S. of A. has been regime-changed and Balkanized and a dog now holds the highest office in the land. The “democratic” ideals envisioned by the country’s neo-con forefathers and a fire and brimstone “Goddess” are now upheld by the few remaining states that have not been stripped off by former allies. However, if anything continues to be true, it’s that freedom is damn well not free! Your average citizen is now compelled to pay millions of dollars as a result of Congresses’ compulsory Freedom and Consumption Law (SR-911666), from which Congress itself is, of course, exempt. Sorry We Missed You! is bound to offend any and all without exception! Have a nice day!
