Premise: Lincoln survived the assassination attempt

President Lincoln leaned heavily on his cane, staring across the Potomac as the sun bled into the water.

“They aimed true,” he said. “But so did I.”

The bullet had missed his heart by a half-inch. He still couldn’t raise his left arm.

“Do you regret surviving?” I asked.

He didn’t answer right away.

“Regret is for men who sit still,” he said finally. “I still have work to do.”

He handed me a folder marked Operation Reshuffle.

Inside was a list of names. Confederate leaders. Union generals. Politicians.

“Clean the board,” he said.

And then he turned back toward the White House, limping but unbroken.
