I'm a horror writer attempting a little romance here so hope you enjoy. (THIS IS A SATIRE OF THIS CLICHE CONTRIVED GENRE)

How far would you go to protect the jobs of those who depend on you? A young manager in the Rust Belt thought he knew. A Pittsburgh-based manufacturing goliath is teetering at the verge of collapse: The board is a tinderbox, the CEO weak, and four thousand jobs are to be offshored to India. Amidst the chaos, the shadow ruler Collin Bentbar schemes to topple the CEO. But when the young power-crazed, yet principled Paul Cromwell joins the ailing colossus, an unlikely antagonist emerges. Only then does the real flood of boardroom intrigues, conspiracies, and business scandals wash over the company. Whether it is the devious operations director, the majority shareholder of tsarist arrogance, or the labor unions - for their personal gain they will even go to society's darkest corners. Personal hatred drives the directors farther than any career ambition ever could. And the young Cromwell himself hallucinates into reality a war against his nemesis in the board. Might it spiral out of control and plunge Cromwell into moral amnesia? CALL TO POWER is a fast-paced commercial thriller with plot-twists and strong characters. Dive into a riveting story about managerial responsibility in a world terrified by the job-eating maw of technology and Asia's rise to the globe's factory.

It all began in August 1981 on Hamilton Avenue, a seemingly quiet residential street in Palo Alto. This is the story of an 18-year-old French girl named Bernadette (I should say "I," for this is my story) who arrives in Palo Alto for a one-year stint as an au pair and becomes a new person. According to the dictionary, an au pair is "a young foreign person, who cares for children and does housework for a family in return for room and board and the opportunity to learn the family's language." But for Bernadette, it was nothing short of a life-changing experience, after leaving behind her stifling native environment. This is the story of a young woman's self-discovery, and of how, thanks to the love and generosity of others - the parents and children of her American family, new friends, neighbors, other au pairs of different nationalities - she learned to laugh, put trust in others, have faith in kindness, cope with hurt and overcome hatred, and be responsible. She learned to be free. Hamilton Avenue is the chronicle of a young woman's experiences grappling for the first time with desires, fears, conflicting impulses, emotions and passions. It also describes her confrontation with preconceived ideas instilled by her culture of origin as an inner life and a new sense of self emerge. As you embark on this one-year journey with me and my "new family" in a quest for love and personal freedom, you will meet a medley of young girls who forged fast and enduring friendships as we "came of age" together, as well as a rich collection of characters, young and old on a backdrop of great pop music of the '60s and '80s. Enjoy the fun, the laughter, and yes, some anguish and tears, as I become Me!

This was a poetry assignment I was to do for school last year. The prompt was 'The American Dream', so I made the poem from my own views of the American Dream as I see it. Enjoy! And P.S. I don't write a lot of poetry so... yeah.

Sevaa'ane- a literal cutthroat immigrant to the anarchy that used to be Manhattan. Firna- her roommate, a city-born rich girl turned apothecary and poisoner who is determined to figure out the other girl's secrets. Manhattan- The city that never sleeps is dead, buried under corpses and panic from the plague that swept through the world faster than any cure could combat. Food is easy to come by, because no one is alive to man the bodegas. The wail of an ambulance is silent, the drivers and medics were the first to die. Survivors are scarce, and scared. Welcome to the United States, please enjoy your quarantine period.

This is MY opinion on what the American Dream is and if it is there or not.
