Going Down
by Gary Jordan

ABOUT THE STORY

What if, instead of obeying President Davis and keeping his Army of Virginia poised to counterthrust against elements of the Union Army threatening the Shenandoah, Lee had instead rallied to the first battle of Bull Run, and having defeated those Northern invaders decisively, pursued them to capture Washington, a fair number of congressmen, and Abraham Lincoln himself?

What if, when the Yankee Congress passed its 1862 law outlawing polygamy, the Confederacy had passed its own law recognizing the right of the Mormons to control their own marriage customs without government interference in order to entice the Utah and Idaho territories to secede as well?

What if, having successfully formed a new nation, the CSA was persuaded by the court of world opinion to abolish slavery on its own timetable, and used the inducements of technological incentives and trade to build its own industrial nation?

What if, one looked at such a people after one hundred and forty years of building a modern polygamous industrial giant from sea to sea in competition to their brothers to the North?

Gary Jordan looks at possible answers to those questions, secure in the knowledge that even if he guesses wrong, the exercise might be entertaining.

Inspired by Stasya T. Canine's "Cosmic Orgasm Challenge", "Going Down" presents just such a society in short scenes on the theme.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gary Jordan started sharing his adult writing in 2001 with First Impressions, an erotic science fiction story. He says that writing helps him deal with the loneliness of being a widower by incorporating the best aspects of a 25-year marriage into fiction. A confirmed chocoholic, he has a tendency to incorporate that taste into his stories as well. It generally results in a lighter, sweeter story -- or so he claims.
