Recession Stories

Two men, two different levels in society. World War 2 is over. ****DISCLAIMER: This story is not meant to be taken seriously, nor as a total joke. It is farcical, therefore the absurdity of the story with the serious delivery. The concept is quite sick and twisted, but it is a narrative based upon the writing style for a story I am reading for language arts. It is a historical fiction novel, however based on the seriousness of the topic, I find it insanely absurd how more than have of the story revolves around sexual acts--Yet it is about murder and dictatorship, as well as conspiracy, so this was a reaction idea I had. PLEASE DO NOT BE OFFENDED BY ANY MATERIAL

Last Chance Mile: The Reinvention of an American Community tells the story of how the people of Grand Rapids, Michigan have changed the way the world sees their community and how the community sees itself. It was a scramble. Everyone was scared to death Grand Rapids would be the next Detroit, and like the Motor City, would be crushed under the rubble of the Great Recession. Did it work? To answer that would be a spoiler and to give a “yes” or “no” answer would be unfair because the struggle continues. However, it is safe to say, this is not the Grand Rapids that I moved into in 1990. Or is it? Again, just as the struggle continues, so does the debate. Let’s get started. —Rod

Melbourne 2009 - remembered for assault and almost genocide of Indians... I was there. I remember that period more for personal unhappiness and a big tragedy!!!! Personally unhappy - hardly 2 months after marriage I was forced to travel... Recession danger on job - just for 2 months - it became 7 months!!!! Tragedy - my good friend died - a freak accident - 1 in a million.... after 2 weeks in coma- we witnessed the heart breaking sight of his young wife in denial her talk to her kids - 2 girls children telling "Papa is fine will be back in few weeks".... The petty mind of powers that be in the IT world. The shallowness of friendship of the demised man's big managers My feelings of the shallowness of all things we hold important in life My depression at his death and the shallowness around it from his family and managers. 6 MONTHS OF HELL ON EARTH IN MELBOURNE...

Christmas/seasonal themed poem series - they vary from humorous to gloomy, haiku's to sonnets, religious to trivial, yet all are short and most have somewhat of a twist. Written in lower case as I was taught by a poetry tutor (alledgedly, this is how it's suppose to be?). Enjoy people; let me know what you think. xxx
