I’m Leonard Trunce, award-nominated actor and director of Carlie Cape.

When I was young and living out on the farm, my old man taught me a few simple truths.

You kept your gods well-fed, and your gods bestowed their grace upon you in turn.

We didn’t need more than that.

These days, though, some people want to take all of that to pieces. They say we shouldn’t be feeding gods at all.

Everyone just seems angry all the time; nobody’s willing to have a conversation.

I don’t know what my old man would’ve said about all that. I think he might have seen it as a little bit selfish.

And now things are getting harder, and our gods are going hungry - and my dad taught me that when times are tough, all of us need to pull together.

That’s why I’ve signed the Vow of the Unsung Heroes.

The Vow states that at a time of the government’s choosing, they are entitled to my body and my spirit to be sustainably sacrificed to a licenced war-god of the state.

You’ll get it framed and certified, and sent direct to your door with postage and package included.

It even comes with its own limited edition medal, too.

Come on, Peninsulans. Let’s pull together, and show these kids how it’s done.[1]
