Grunburg Residence, Huntington Palisades
(Toyopa between Chautauqua and Sunset)
On May 4, 2016, in the early hours of the morning on one of the better streets of the Huntington Palisades,1 Talullah Kyong-Grunburg (thirteen-year-old daughter of Lifespan Network president and chronic insomniac Jeff Grunburg2) saw the news on her Tumblr feed @AllHailMemeOverlord.3
Sixty seconds after she texted her dad from her upstairs Tahitian-sea-grass-wallpapered suite, he was on the phone in his downstairs Balinese-bamboo-bookshelved office.
The next twenty-four hours were a blur.
