Fabian
"Fabian," the teacher repeated. She turned around writing the word on the white-board. Scratching her chin she tried to think of how to explain it. "Think of cautious," she said. "Sorry for the interruption please continue."
John sighted before continuing. He hadn't minded the interruption but it had caused him to loose his train of thought. "However in the case of the New Washington government this inclination towards delaying tactics was only a ruse. The party was only stalling to get their forces into position. Two days after another deadlocked session paramilitary forces ceased missile bases on the ground. What followed was the New Washington war. Thanks to help received by the Hanex New Washington became an independent state. It is only now that the Confederacy has lifted the ban on travel to New Washington. I was apprehensive as I stepped off the transport but visiting a third world planet is defiantly worthwhile."

This is wonderful stuff, Just fragments of a life elsewhere. It doesn't need to have a beginning or an end, your readers can make those in any way they wish. Reminds me in some way of the blurb on the back cover of 'Canopy of Time' by Brian Aldiss. "they are all slices off the enormous carcass of the future, arranged chronologically from a date a century or two ahead, right up to the end of the galaxy". The Dictionary Stories may be nibbles rather than slices, but nontheless entertaining.
