THE DOZZIN PROTOCOL
A Novella of Executive Malfunction
What happens when the presidency becomes a performance—and the performance becomes more important than the person behind it?
President Joey Be Dozzin has risen to the highest office in the land through an improbable combination of political exhaustion, public affection, and an extraordinary talent for being in the wrong place at the right time. But when an embarrassing incident threatens his already questionable ability to govern, a secret government operation activates a solution so audacious that it might actually work: replace the president with an actor.
Enter Fenwick Cray, a struggling performer recruited for the role of a lifetime. Equipped with an astonishingly realistic disguise and a team of political handlers, Fenwick discovers that governing is considerably less important than appearing to govern. Every misstatement becomes a moment of authenticity. Every public embarrassment is repackaged as courage. And every failure somehow produces another round of applause.
Meanwhile, First Lady Nora Dozzin offers the nation a comforting presence whose compassion may be more precisely engineered than anyone suspects. Behind the scenes, an elaborate machinery of image management, emotional manipulation, and manufactured political decline ensures that the spectacle continues—until one curious White House employee begins asking the wrong questions.
As the boundaries between truth and performance dissolve, Fenwick confronts a disturbing possibility: after pretending to be someone else for long enough, there may be no one left beneath the mask.
The Dozzin Protocol is an absurdist political satire about manufactured leadership, institutional deception, artificial empathy, and a public increasingly willing to accept a convincing performance in place of reality.
Darkly comic, occasionally unsettling, and deliberately outrageous, it asks a deceptively simple question:
When everyone knows the system is a performance, who is really being fooled?
