Amazon Delivery Guy Robbed of 62 Packages While out on a routine package delivery, in December, Martyn Gilham, 28, was pushed to the ground and robbed. The assailant stole Gilham’s wallet and the keys to his delivery truck. He drove off with the truck and over 60 packages still left inside. Gilham is the father of an 11-month-old boy and works as a delivery driver. His employer, Fast Despatch Transport Ltd, provides delivery services for Amazon. The robber did not take Gilham’s phone, and so he immediately called the police. He then contacted his boss on his way to the police station. But his boss did not react how Gilham was expecting him to. “His first question was: “Did you leave the key in the ignition?” Gilham said. “His second question was: ‘Is there anything you could have done to prevent it?’ I think he expected me to fight the thief off but I didn’t know what was going to happen.” About a week after the robbery, Gilham checked in with his boss about the status of the sto- len items. That’s when his boss told him police had located the van, but had not released it yet. But he also told Gilham that he was fired.4G ilham was shocked to say the least. But his boss’s message had even more to say about

when he would be paid for his work.“Still waiting for police to release the van,” the text messages read. “About work, we will notuse your service anymore.“About your earning, we have to wait to see what will be the bill for the van and for the par-cels inside and you receive the rest.”Immediately, Gilham told his boss that it was entirely unfair to punish him for being the victimof a robbery.“Just so you and Amazon are aware, I will be seeking legal advice on this matter,” Gilhamwrote back. His boss responded with a simple “ok.”The robbery has since left Gilham struggling to pay his bills without his wallet or wages. Heis currently missing six entire days of payment.“I should imagine a company like Amazon would have insurance for their parcels,” he said,“so I don’t understand why my wages have to cover them.”Spokespersons from both Ama-zon and Fast Despatch Transport Ltd addressed the situation in statements.For now, it remains unclear what exactly Gilham will be charged for, but his employer’sstatement says he will not be charged for the missing 62 packages. 5

Ingersoll Lockwood, an American political writer, la yer and novelist, combined a unique mixture of s ence fiction and fantasy into his novels from the la 1800s. Two of his most popular works of literatu were illustrated children’s stories, focusing on a p culiar fictional character whose name rings a bell 2017: Baron Trump. So the internet is going crazy about this book w Baron Trump in the title from 1893. Trump, an aristocratically wealthy young man living Castle Trump, is the protagonist of Lockwood’s fi two fictional novels, The Travels and Adventures Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulg and Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journ8

(continued on next 2 pages.) 9

“The entire East Side is in a state of uproar,” police officers shouted through the streets, warning city folk to stay indoors for the night. “Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of anarchists and socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years.” “The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob,” the novel continues, citing an address in New York City where Trump Tower now stands. “Would the troops be in time to save it?” Lockwood’s creations have resurfaced online in recent weeks on forum, thanks to users who shared images and conspiracy theories about the fantasy stories. Some claimed the Trump family possesses a time machine that has allowed them to remain powerful to this day. The Last President doesn’t follow the same fictional narrative of Lockwood’s previous novels, though the links to Trump are once again abundantly clear. The president’s10

hometown of New York City is fearing the collapse of the republic in this book, also titled 1900, immediately following the transition of presidential power. Some Americans begin forming a resistance, protesting what was seen as a corrupt and unethical election pro- cess. A filmmaker and Trump supporter named Leigh Scott is now trying to crowdsource funding to create a fantasy feature film, saying he’s a “huge fan of trolling.” “Even though I work in Hollywood, I actually support President Trump,” Scott says in a promotional video for his project. “The book has tons of strange references to the modern day, but we can actually amp that up a bit and put in things that only we as Trump sup- porters and people who are on the internet all the time really understand and appreciate.” 11
