Conspiracy Theory

Abstract

“Let me tell you what’s wrong,” Kinto said through clenched teeth. He grabbed Jessie and Marv by the elbows and ushered them into the hallway, away from the crowded room. He glanced up and down the corridor. No one was around. Apparently, everybody’s attention was riveted on Admiral Montenegro and his wild new universe. “Can I give you guys a quick history lesson?” Kinto hissed. Marv bristled. “I don’t need no stinkin’—” “Let the man speak,” Jessie cut in. “Look,” Kinto said urgently, quietly. “Adolf Hitler had things well in hand a few years into World War Two. He held most of Europe. He had not yet pissed off the Russians, and he had planned on leaving America out of things as well. If Japan hadn’t bombed Pearl Harbor, he probably would have made it to world domination.”
