Barabbas Campaign New Headquarters, Undisclosed Location, Time Still Unknown
I’m here at a secondary and still unknown location, and it appears to be somewhere around sunrise. I can’t be certain of the time as there are many campfires around this location and my eyes are playing tricks on me with the light. I do seem to detect some lightening of the sky, but that may also be a trick of the light, so to speak.
With me here is one of the youngest members of the campaign camp for Barabbas, a man who has withheld his name, but has agreed for the duration of this interview to be referred to as “Max.”
“Hello, Max. Thank you for talking with us today.”
“Us? Who is us? Is there someone else here?” he asks, looking around in agitation.
“No, it’s just you and me. It’s a journalist thing. I ask the questions on behalf of the people who will read the interview later. You know what? Never mind that. We’ll start again. Thank you for agreeing to this interview with me.”
“I am glad to be in this interview. I have never done this before. Have you?”
“Have I what?”
“Done this before?”
“Uh, yes. Yes, I have conducted interviews before. Many times, in fact. You have nothing to worry about. Why don’t we start with the basics. Why do you support Barabbas’ campaign? What drew you to this candidate?”
“I like him because he makes sense.”
“Please explain this a little.”
“He says what he means. He doesn’t talk in riddles. He doesn’t say all the same things everyone else says. And I think he knows what people are really like because he’s been through a lot.”
“When you say he’s been through a lot, are you referencing his trouble with the law?”
“It’s not his fault, man. It was society that made him do that. He’s gonna change things, though. Make them better so that people like him and me don’t end up in prison.”
“And how is it he plans to do that? Can you tell me anything about his strategy?”
“No.”
“Ok. Has he made any promises about specific things he’ll do for you if he wins?”
“No.”
“Let me ask you this one last questions. What specifically did Barabbas say to win your vote?”
“I have to go.”
A strange interview, folks, in a strange and mysterious place. I am still uncertain at this point where exactly I am. It seems that Barabbas has found a way to appeal to even unlikely voters with his plain-spoken nature, and his hardscrabble way of life.
I can’t promise you more from this branch of the campaign, as I am not sure how long I, or they, will be here, but I will try to keep the lines of communication open and hope to see Jerusalem again.
