Anna in the Great Depression

(Disclaimer: This was a school assignment I was told I had to post on this site. I had no clue what to write about, so I just put down what little I could think of and stretched that to the breaking point. As such, the story you are about to read is going to be pretty awful. I recommend leaving and finding something else to read. If you really want to read this then I apologize for what you are about to endure.)

It’s been three weeks since Anna’s father had left their home, forcing the twelve-year-old girl and her mother to fend for themselves. Since then they have run out of what little food they had stockpiled and were left with a few scraps of bread. An exhausted Anna slumped into her chair and picked up her meager share of bread. The bread was dried and tough, and Anna struggled to bite off even the smallest bits. Her mother, still seeped into a deep depression, attempted barely more than a nibble before retiring to her room. Anna took this opportunity to eat her mother’s bread as well, since she would not eat it.

Anna put on her faded palatinate blue overalls and dirty lavender blush white shirt on for another day of work. She dressed as a man in order to get odd jobs to support herself. Usually she worked at a fishery, which was a place where they processed caught fish to sell to people. But the place took very few workers because business was bad because everybody was too poor for food. She took time to practice her “man’s voice” which was similar to her regular voice except that it was deeper so that she could pass as a man which she needed to so that she could get jobs only men would get. Which was why she tried to sound like a man. Then she went out to the fishery, a place where they process caught fish to sell to people.

On her way she was joined by her friend Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff. She liked to shorten his name to just Bob Wolf, but right now she won’t because Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff is longer and takes up more space on paper. She wondered what that had to do with anything, but quickly put those thoughts out of her mind. She continued walking with Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff

Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff was a tall muscular sixteen year old muscular young man of sixteen years who was very muscular because had a lot of muscles. He had dark hair and blue eyes that she really liked for their blueness because blue was her favorite color and Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff’s eyes are blue. He almost always wore a white shirt that was white that he liked to wear because it was his favorite white shit that he always liked to wear. And it was white. He was also wearing ultramarine blue jeans that were ripped on one leg because he fell down a mountain a month ago and ripped them which was why they were ripped. She liked him a lot because she was a girl who liked boys and she likes boys. That’s why she likes him.

“Heading off for the fishery again? That’s where they process fish to sell to people. Unfortunately people don’t’ buy a lot of fish because everyone is poor because of the great depression that is happening right now at this time right now. The great depression made us all too poor to buy fish from the fishery” Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff said

Anna let out a heavy sigh, “Unfortunately so, need to buy food somehow.”

Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff pulled out a bread and handed it over to Anna.

“Here Anna you should eat this because you’re hungry since food makes you less hungry and since you’re hungry being less hungry is good and that’s what food does.”

Anna grabbed the bread which was given to her by Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff so that she could eat so that she would be less hungry during her work at the fishery because being hungry is bad and being less hungry is good because not being less hungry is bad.

“Thank you for the bread Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, I will eat this just before my shift at the fishery where I work to get money for me and my mother who need money because we are poor because we have no money. We’re poor.”

Then she said bye to Bob Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff then went ot work. Then she got money for food and didn’t’ starve. The end.
