This is the story of a
woman and a civilization going through a war with an unseen enemy that will
leave no one unchanged in its aftermath.
Scarlett O’Hara is a
woman who can deal with a nation at war, selfish bastards carrying off
everything from disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, comfort food and yes,
toilet paper to hoard for themselves without any regard for their fellow man.
What will she have to
do to survive?
The store shelves are
barren. Amazon can’t keep anything in
stock. Lawdy, whatever will she do?
Much like the scene in Gone
With The Wind where a starving Scarlett hungrily pulls up a tiny radish to
eat, our heroine can be heard to say, “As God is my witness, as God is my
witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when
it's all over, I'll never be without toilet paper again. No, nor any of my
folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never
be paperless again.”
In the final scene,
with tear-stained eyes uplifted in a sudden, curious burst of hope beneath all
the turmoil of the Great Toilet Paper Crisis of 2020 we hear her say, “After
all, tomorrow is another day.”
