Worked Stiff: Short Stories to Tell Your Boss

By Marc D. Crepeaux

In an America full of unemployment, late fees, foreclosures, bankruptcy, and loss of hope... there are consequences.

This short story collection includes some of the pale misery behind faults in the American working class. Find a cab driver who lost his way, a down and out executive who stumbles onto a Voodoo curse in New Orleans, a nurse who pays the price for rescuing a man once thought loved, and a horrific, dystopian future. Discover new hope after surviving cancer. Follow a paratrooper to manhood as he approached the deadly ground. Help the underemployed win at a game where reality TV meets nature at the crossroads of technology.

This book is a salute and celebration of the Modern American Worker. Generations of unrecognized heroes who wash our cars, mow our lawns, bake our bread, douse our fires, take our garbage, teach our kids, grow our food, build our houses, mend our roads, and defend our freedom. The American Dream is still there for all of them, hidden in plain sight, riddled with confusion and abandonment. The stories in this collection contain clues, breadcrumbs dropped along a path to help you on your way.
