Better ending would have been: "There's one thing I just couldn't explain however. As I was replacing the drapes the spy torn off my window, I couldn't help but notice the green. As the weeks passed and my conscious neglect to reattach the drapes continued, I still couldn't help but notice the green, and I could have sworn, it was getting bigger.

Excellently read, the narrator's character, the irony, is well rendered.
I love this story, got to hear it again!
What an incredibly sarcastic little tale.
Great stuff.
Wow, he dodged a bullet !

The ending is disappointing to say the least. Just because the fascists would likely prevail in real life, doesn’t mean they have to win in fiction.
