"The only way to make money, even if death is an outcome"

Here is my story, as I imagined it, inspired by many works, musical, literary or even artistic.

1947, New York. The effects of the great Wallstreet crisis still persist, especially for two people whose destinies are intersecting: Cataleya and Adam. Treading the dance floor one in the other's arms, they try to find a way out of their miserable life.



Inspiration: you just have to find, I will give you a kiss

This book follows an African American boy as he wonders over into the white community something not usually done. Considering that during the year 1830's New York was severely divided into pocket communities helping keep the oppressed oppressed, since they would live in cramped apartment buildings with other families while the rich lived in manors. While the immigrants worked in factories the rich turned towards investments. Matthews~ (African American) 6 years old and on the street. I watch the other children get handed bread. I watch them get taken into the homes made for children like us. My clothes are tattered and torn. I go to bed underneath boxes or in garbage cans to stay warm. Annabelle~ 20 years old, the daughter of a noble getting ready for another social event. I walk with the other women who are ahead of me. They are giggling and talking about the recent engagements, the recent social gatherings, the recent investments that potential suitors have made, yet I am simply not interested. I would rather get a job. I want to get down and dirty. Daniel~ 21 years old, a nobleman that owns quite a few acres of land for farming. Father finally died. Leaving the estate to me. I will now be able to rent out the land instead of having father put outrageous buying prices on the damn property. No one can afford them in today's day in age. Not to mention that once the property is divided up into the sectors with their own little cottages we could have our own little self-sufficient economy if I play my cards right. No, my father ever the man he was decided it was too much of a risk. Well you can roll over in your grave. I never did like him. *Warning: There may be some harsh scenes while Matthews are on the streets, and scenes that deal with death. Please be aware of this as you read. # in Historical Fiction as of: 931~ 7/14/17 302~ 7/22/17 288~ 7/24/17

There was no way to know my office romance would turn into a world-wide adventure to help save humanity with billions of dollars in giveaways to ordinary people during the Early Virus Years. My name is Crystal Jones. I used to make money as a digital ad exec. A lot of money. Through my secret love affair, I was hired by a secret club of billionaires just as The Virus began spreading. It was my job to *give away* billions of dollars Americans who deserved it. To altruistic people. It worked so well, the Unity Campaign went global. We were American Ambassadors of Altruistic Capitalism. It was when people started dropping into spontaneous comas that I finally realized: humanity cannot survive without unity. Money giveaways are simply goodwill tools. Now I'm on a remote island in the Philippines with some people from my Unity team - including two billionaires. I want to tell you the back story of the Unity Campaign. Not all billionaires are bad, and some stories don't have tidy endings -- but they can still give us hope.
