Part 1. The Arrival.
The white driverless Tesla "Electric Paddy Wagon" pulled up to the receiving hatch and push up gently against it. A metallic chunk as grabbers attached to the bars on it's back, pulling the van tight against the rubber seal. Doors opened with a soft hiss, and a single figure was pushed into the receiving cage by the ejector panel in the van. A belt pulled the figure forward, just clearing a metal grate that slammed down.
The figure turned to see the van's doors close before it silently drove away, ready to capture it's next social justice warrior.
A slatternly woman stood in the dark cage, a small mount of light filtering in from a hole far above. Matted red hair and dark circles adorned it face as it took in the cramped surroundings. Just as she thought she had her balance back after the terrifying ride in the van, a loud horn blared "MOVEMENT WILL COMMENCE. USE GRAB HANDLES ABOVE TO BRACE. MOVEMENT WILL COMMENCE."
She just had time to frantically reach up and grab the handles above her as the cage jerked forward. It moved with hesitating creaks before a large set of doors opened in front of her, flooding the are with light. As she stared forward, a sight that could not be.
Her attention was suddenly taken by the fact that the cage was almost dropped into a tub on what looked like a rail car. Hooks came out of sockets, latching into the bars and securing the cage on the car. It was then she noticed the two figures at the front.
Chairs swiveled around and two men in black uniforms, shiny boots, and snappy hats stood in unison. Goose-stepping towards her, they stopped, snapped a quick salute, and stared at the imprisoned woman.
"W...who...where...."
"I am Enoch" said the man on the left. "I am Elijah," the one on the right replied. She stared at them. chiseled faces of alabaster framed icy blue eyes, blonde fuzz peeking out from under their smart hats. Michelangelo could not have carved more perfect examples of the White people. The woman was sick, the beauty of what was in front of her flew in the face of all she held dear.
"We are here to rehabilitate you!" they said in unison.
"Where...this...how did we get here? This is in P...."
Enoch and Elijah laughed mirthlessly. "Not any more!" cried Enoch. "Fuhrer Trump, Sieg Heil! bought it and brought it here!" shouted Elijah.
"Where...where is here?"
"Nebraska!" they cried.
With that, the two - they could only be twins - turned with practiced precision and returned to their seats. Facing forward, Enoch touched a button on the control panel in front of him. A red, stylized "T" lit up and the rail car moved silently forward toward the familiar building, with it's rails threading through the peaked-roof arch.
The woman looked around, suddenly noticing the crowds. How had she not seen them? Thousands of White Men and Women shouted at her, jeering, calling her names. There was nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, she sobbed at things that she had once called those around her were tossed back at her. Finally, they approached the archway, and the last thing she heard before the crowds were silenced was "WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHORE! SIEG HEIL!"

Part 3. The Redemption.
The figure that stood before her looked haggard and worn, like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. Dried blood on his face from a...was that thorns on his head? He looked upon her and smiled. "I have waited for you for 2000 years. I have kept this for you." She looked in horror at the hand that raised it's palm up, the wounds just behind the wrist oozing blood. The man did not seem to notice, and only looked at her with expectation. The woman noticed a small glowing point of light in the man's hand. Pure, golden light, the most brilliant thing she had ever seen. Part of her craved that light, but she didn't know why.
"What...is it?" she said.
"Redemption. It is yours, simply ask for it."
"You don't exist!" the woman shouted. "YOU AREN'T REAL!"
The man looked at her, his eyes filled with an infinite sadness.
"GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY" the woman screeched at him.
The man lowered his gaze. "I have always, and will always love you." he said as he faded away.
The woman's heart pounded with anger. How dare these idiots show her this kind of bullshit?
Another set of footsteps behind her. She found she could move and whirled around expecting the religion asshattery again, but stopped when she realized this was someone different. A White man in a pinstripe suit, his hair slicked back, a big smile on his face, looked at her. "Who are you?" she growled.
"Kathy Griffin, my name is Ralph Edwards. And, This WAS your life!"
Invisible hands suddenly grabbed the woman's clothing even as a force pulled her backwards, painfully tearing her from what she had been wearing. Her naked body flew at breakneck speed through a doorway, even as she was dumped unceremoniously into a small brick room. A door, that description being quite generous, slammed shut, a weak bolt being thrown across just to keep it from coming open again. She looked around the room. A single lightbulb swung overhead, the frayed wire giving off sparks that made it flicker. Showerheads lined the walls, and cold concrete adorned the floor. The woman suddenly knew where she was. She got up and hurried towards the thin wooden sheet that covered the doorway and pounded on the even thinner glass. It was impossibly strong, she screamed to be let out even as hissing started. Horrified, she saw smoky gas pouring from the showerheads. The hydrogen cyanide, disobeying every physical property it had, hung in the air and didn't explode from the sparks being emitted from the light.
As she coughed and choked on the gas, she peered one last time through the foggy glass. Enoch and Elijah stared at the ground, but Ralph was looking at her. He gave her a big smile and a thumbs up just as her vision faded and she slipped to the ground.
