If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

Another two years go by and things are running smoothly. Then, at two years two months, without warning, a second unsolvable problem comes up. The leader decides that since the first letter had such good advice, he has to open the second letter now.

The leader opens the second letter, and it just says, “write two letters.”

Musk/45 has used up the first letter.

The new leader thanks their predecessor, and quickly forgets. Six months pass, all is well. Then, a month more and a huge problem with no solution comes up. The leader is inconsolable. Then he remembers the letters. He opens the drawer, takes out letter one and tears it open. On the predecessor’s letterhead, it says only, “blame me.”

The new leader blames his predecessor and the people accept that. The leader weathers the storm.

Old joke: a new leader of a far off country is congratulated at their inauguration by their predecessor. Their predecessor mentions they’ve written the new guy 2 letters, and left them in the presidential desk. “Open letter one when you have your first unsolvable problem, and letter two when you have your second.”
