I find him gasping for breath under the bridge. He could barely keep his head above water.

“Who threw you under the bus …er bridge?” I feel almost like a monster when asking this.

“Pull me out first. I’ll spill the beans.”

Build narratives to downsize the opposition.

Set people against one another.

The haze of opinions keeps the real picture visible yet undecipherable. This is the road to Power.

He ended up on the wrong end of the stick.
