Fugue: 2012
By G.J. Lentz

“It was a day for which none of us would forget,” so began Kitty Hewidd, investigative reporter for the Global News Networks. She paused a good moment before continuing; her gaze locked to the camera and the eyes of billions of viewers.

Kitty was a captivating woman, her journalism and anchoring were none-the-less. It was her shows first broadcast and it came upon the anniversary of the Event, of which her success surrounded about, as did the entirety of the world.

“I'm Kitty Hewidd, and welcome to tonight's show,” she continued as the camera angle swiveled and zoomed back from a close-up. Again she paused, connecting with her viewers. She was undoubtedly a striking woman: bright and intelligent hazel eyes glittered with a bit more green, like flakes of emerald. Her hair was a rich auburn and had a stylish yet common enough appeal. She wore a blouse of earthy tones accented with a dash of turquoise and silver in her brooch, necklace and earrings. She portrayed both professionalism and some everyday people connectivity in her appearance and demeanor.

“Tonight is the first of a year long series we will be bringing to you here on GNN. We are broadcasting live tonight from Embassy City, New York. Tomorrow morning the World Reconciliation Council will meet and sign the World Treatise, unifying our world under one global governing community. It is a historic event, one that comes out of the tribulations our world has faced these past years since the unprecedented Event of 2012.”
