"Even as I stand here" he bellowed, "crippled, hobbled, sickened - I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived! Now watch me become what I can become!"
His look was triumphant. He looked down at the cowering people below him.
As Hazel watched this, it brought even more tears to her eyes. How did the son that she had raised from an infant with love and care, turn into such a disgrace?
From the other room, she heard the sound of a bull horn being blown, and winced.
How George stood these sounds she did not know. She would never have as a complex mind as he did.
And then she looked back at the screen, and was frozen with terror. Harrison was looking right at her. He was screaming something unclear, and had stolen a tiara from one of the ballerinas and contorted it into a mess on his head.
After his words to the watchers about "becoming," he had also draped himself in the green screen, using it as a cape, and marching around the studio chanting "Vote the amazing, inspirational Harrison for emperor!" And with that, He flashed a little blue light, and walked out of the room.
Hazel was confused. she didn't remember what had happened.
It was then that the Bergeron's television tube burned out.
