It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn’t home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That’s when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird…and instead, they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He’d been climbing down the chimney, his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that’s how I found out there was no Santa Claus. ---

“But you go ahead Henry, you do it your way. You go on back in there and tell them that you rule there is no Santy Claus. Go on. But if you do, remember this: you can count on getting just two votes, your own and that district attorney’s out there.” “The DA’s a Republican.” ---

Now look. The _Post_: “It Flies.” The _News_: “Look, Ma, No Wires.” The _Times_: “Blue Bomb Buzzes Metropolis.” The _Planet_. We’re sitting on top of the story of the century here! I want the name of this flying whatchamacallit to go with the _Daily Planet_ like bacon and eggs, franks and beans, death and taxes, politics and corruption. ---
