Tunisia 17th December 2010: According to friends and family, local police officers had allegedly targeted and mistreated Bouazizi for years, including during his childhood, regularly confiscating his small wheelbarrow of produce; but Bouazizi had no other way to make a living, so He continued to work as a street vendor.

Around 10 p.m. on 16 December 2010, Bouazizi had contracted approximately 450 dinar in debt to buy the produce to sell the following day. On the morning of 17 December, Bouazizi started his workday at 8 a.m. Just after 10:30 a.m., the police began harassing him again, ostensibly because He did not have a vendor's permit.

Bouazizi did not have the funds to bribe police officials to allow his street vending to continue. Bouazizi, angered by the confrontation, went to the governor's office to complain and to ask for his scales back.

The governor refused to see or listen to him. Bouazizi then acquired a can of gasoline from a nearby gas station and returned to the governor's office. While standing in the middle of traffic, he shouted,

"How do you expect me to make a living?"

Bouazizi then doused himself with the gasoline and set himself alight with a match at 11:30 a.m. local time, less than an hour after the altercation.

**Part One: WarFair4:** **Rogue-Citizen:** **The Day The Market Stood Still...**

  1. The Banker and the Clerk.

The _I-_ nvestment Merchant-Banker sat-back and glanced across at The _Admin.i-strative_ Accounts-Clerk. They sat in opposite seats-a fixed-table between them, travelling on this same-train 2nd-Class carriage, same-time, same-carriage for The-Clerk the _same_ -seat if that or any other was to be had amongst the everyday commuters seated _and a few standing today and as usually crammed-in each weekday early-morning_ into The-Capital: _Financial_ -City.

For The-Banker: _this_ day too-early for the usual First Class re-servation today, with or _without_ waiter or waitress-served breakfast, or a free-morning Newspaper _only those freely given-away_ and piled-up in The Station Forecourt to be taken-away. That had to be paid-for, anyway, by publicising the latest events and product models and up-dated versions.

The most _reasonably_ -priced, sold alongside copies of The Big Issue sold-on by homeless-people dis-advantaged and in Metropolis' around The World:

_No such thing as a free-lunch_ the-Banker reasoned: i _n First-Class The Financial-Newspaper paid-for anyway by The Railway Company ticket-seated and breakfasted with The-Financial Newspaper at massively discounted Investment-Corporation. Market Business-Rate or Cost-Price freely as-Advertising as encouraging in-someway Paid-For and as all for: Financial Returns and the Power to_ I _nfluence: Others' Economic and Political Campaign(s)...u_ sing Political-Power to enrich and own People Family and Business-Associate(s):

The Financial Newspaper: could be easily afforded, anyway. From today's loss-leader, tomorrow's and everyday's winner paid-for upfront, from: The Station-Kiosk: The Newspapers' Corp-0-rate-In-vestment: borrowed on perma-credit: staff-costs and overhead(s) never paid-off entirely wealth effectively permanently in-debted bankrupted on- continuing steady-sales to be re-couped: shorted for the long-term in- _vestment short-term gains..._ a _chieved...everyday off-line...on-line._

_Credit._ ed: next days' shop copy readied for repeat-status quoted confidence asking market-price bid-and-volume traded, as they were: before: The War.

  2. The Newspaper.

Today, The Newspaper: not given-away with the extortionately and exclusively permissive over-priced Rail-Pass this day into The City:

The Stock-Exchanges and Financial-Markets. The Annual-Executive Rail-Ticket: _paid-for_ , whether used or-not. This day the first Train out and apparently only Standard-Class in sub-ordination available. A single First-Class carriage was filled-up quickly by anyone who had a ticket and _conceivably some who did-not:_ there were no-tickets being checked _anyway_ apparently the barriers left-open and _inviting all-comers._

For The-Banker: for another-time that morning, something mildly, now-seconded and _markedly_ unusual: the earlier, when: The Radio Alarm-Clock: had switched-on. Routinely with the early-morning fishing, farming, road, and rail, airline and shipping news, of arrivals and departures, delays and speculative _forecasts_ as determined weather-reports local and global political-economic, media-news with the previous-nights' _closing...with The Stock-_ Market(s) Prices from around The-World: _there had been developments, overnight, that needed attending-to..._

From the emptying platform: The-Banker and The-Clerk boarded The Train: together, more or less equal. The-Clerk with a free newspaper, and headphones plugged-in to a Mobile Media-Centre.

The-Banker for the first time in a long-while with a bought-copy of: The _Financial-Newspaper_ from The Station-Kiosk and from The Trains' limited refreshments-trolley, a scalding boiling cup of tea from the hot water cauldron, paid-for, tapped, by card.

_The-Banker:_ having taken the first seat-available in the nearest Standard-Class compartment available, coupled with a foul-stench reeking drain-leaking latrine _literally_ retching between the brown and grey-green patterned seats. Along the narrow aisleway The-Banker waving The Newspaper ahead _as if to clear-the-air:_ un- _wave_ ring, when shunted across by the next-passenger inline to the only _vacant_ window-seat, glanced across-to and sat sedentarily parked and leaned-forward: The-Table: between them, and asked of The-Clerk, already sat down-opposite:

'So what do you make of it all, then?'

'I don't know what to make of IT, but I expect I will find out soon enough, don't you?'

'So what do you make of IT all, then?' again, i _n the customary easy clear voice of one born with the interrogative confidence of swift appraisal..._

_A_ s to The-Clerk as to The-Banker as to The First-Class ticket held-out, and The Newspaper Headline: shaken-out: as to: _the whole-carriage and The World beyond_ to: The City, and the next.

_And,_ the picture that could now be viewed, in print, and on-line, as to what was initially referred to, and the 'IT'?' that too, was soon made obvious. As if spoken to self then: that _sarcastic_ thought, or was it sardonic?

Out-lined _out-loud, headline read:_

Markets in Turmoil!

photographed scene screen elsewhere de-picting:

'Market Closed.'

sounded all looked, sounded, differently.

As if someone-else had spoken the words instead. As a gauntlet thrown-down to be picked-up. Only as instantly- _realised_ now, and as at the time-of-speaking, and that short-moment-later as-spoken now irritatingly _intimating_ only-now at the- _gamble_ seemingly already _commit_ ted-to.

The _Uncertainty Factor in de-fence of, de-fiance of:_

_<_ Project- _Fear_...resilience and stronger with Greater-Risk:

>N>nnn... _known:_ un- _fearful:_ _beyond_ -Brave... _stupid_.

Now, as such a private yet communally and now seemingly _un_ shared shared-venture: this _seemingly_ -reasonable; or unreasonably as yet un-priced as yet only a projected proposal.

There would be a Price though and a _Cost-_ too:

'Your Price?'

'Yours?'

'Costing(s)?'

'Debts. Credit in the Bank? Safe and Secure? De-Reg.(s) and increased slider on public-spending cut(s): Lower-Tax€(s):'

'If: The Price is Right...' _then as if both benevolence-educating and holding-back relevant secrets..._

'Purchase-price and re-sale onward, that's all you need to know'... _as yet, an un-bidden offer in-prospect. To follow-up the seemingly automatically-accepted challenge, as yet to be fully realised_ : _prospecting_ - _Approach?_ Assessment-Presentation? The-Close?

Then:

'Where are you at there?' intimating at both place and time that evening before:

'Product?'

' _Irrelevant_.'

'O.K.?'

3. They.

' _It's like living in a rabbit hutch'_ She often said metaphorically and He replied with a shrug. _Nothing to say in reply. It was; and it would take long enough to pay for. Eight-floors up. Looking over the street below, now starting to become busy with traffic. They had lived with his parents for a time, and then after they were married in a small rented flat in The City, before they needed to afford somewhere to live together, and to bring-up their two small children. They had both saved, and with some financial help from a relative (deceased) they had managed to get this place. When the housing market was 'buoyant' and home loan Home-Buyer's Mort-Gages easy to get if you were in Work. The home was bought with a loan, a promissory note, deposited and co-lateraled together with the home itself. They were afloat._

Both worked to pay-off The Loan, which although it was supposed to reduce each year, did not seem ever to keep up with prices and pay. The loan would anyway be paid-off, many times over, if they were ever to pay off the debt. If this place was ever to become their own. If they managed to keep paying-off with interest for 'the shelter from the storm', as they called it, from everyday life.

A life or home that they did not now own, and may not ever actually own, if foreclosed to sell-back at Market Price the difference between the selling and originally bought price along with the interest paid, they would have lost to The Mortgage Company crediting Bank as landlord and financial overlord. No recourse, and be homeless.

On The Street. Refugees. Like wartime. Leave the home. Return to parents, and over-crowding as before or with friends similarly fixed. Their Home, such as it was theirs, re-possessed. Their home repossessed; their lives dis-possessed re-possessed...

_Their-Home: a two-bedroom cabin apartment_ She thought of: _kitchen-lounge, bathroom and toilet, and tiny balcony between them, and the sky above, and onto the world below._

Each day, each month, and each successive year into the unthinkable future; no-deposit but interest-only nearly two-thirds every month of what they both earned. She did the household accounts, and She knew. Of every week, every month, every year, every decade...two thirds of two lifetimes...the Loan would have been paid for several times over by the time and if ever it became theirs or The Children's; and perhaps even their Grandchildren's...paid-for with extortionate charges and zero-security...but that is the nature of the human animal, is it not?

_To do over; and be done over again and again?_ She thought: _wanting more and more for less and less and prepared to do anything for it. Break the rules...even murder, in effect? A walking nightmare, as if a daydream_ of violent retribution or suicidal; and in the quiet mind wandering moment of pillared door, a room, a table, _a bed let go and a bed sheet left behind ready to be buried with as they did in the olden times, shrouded_ as now by window curtains _thinly_ pulled-back.

_Each worked to Pay-Off the loan on the house, and to pay for food and bills and extras, clothes, and nights out, occasionally. Maybe once a month, or not at all. Then He had been laid-off work at The Bakery: three-day-week, and three days' wages. The mortgage was renegotiated, and they continued struggling to pay-off the loan and other loans, credited and debited from what they both earned together for the basics of life. There was never an issue of who should earn more and be the main-breadwinner, and who would do the most caring of each other and the children: the unpaid responsibilities shared around The 'House';_ and then: # _Civil-War: World of Work and Good-Times: with Other Friends and Family out-there in-here: Manly Madly Maidenly_ made to-do.

They were equal, without even having to think about it or confront societies' and other's false expectations of gender and family. They were equal, and supported each other's frail and fragile egos with a natural equanimity.

_Respectful, and loving, each contributing their best and differently according to their means, to make the whole: It's not all doom and gloom_ She did often think, and He tried not to think on it. _The homely claustrophobia only had to be relieved by going out._

To the Cinema, to a Bar or Restaurant. But that was not very often. Now there were children as well.

Seldom did extras make their mark. Clothes bought carefully a piece at a time replacement rather than extravagance. The cupboards filled with groceries, and emptied by the time the next weeks shopping recipes for the week... mental-list...needed as wanted, and the next weeks earnings spent...

4. She.

She was awake first this morning, and She got up from the bed on which He still lay awake but not yet awake enough to leave its night-time warmth. She went through to the next room. The bedroom led across the narrow passage to the living room which led directly to the tiny gallery kitchen and balcony on one side and the door to the front room on the other. Except it wasn't the _front_ -room, exactly; the 'front-room' of her childhood; _playing on the street and door directly to the matted rugged smell of cooking from the stone wall white-washed country kitchen upstairs one room on the gallery landing for the grand-parents to retire early in the evening, the loft room alongside the attic hay-store grain store. Foods prepared early next day for daily breads baked and dry-feed for the yard chicks and chickens and field stock, milk and meat and warm- clothing made and mended at home._

_Along The River Lands' fish. An outside closet-room to flush away into the ground to fertilise with a zinc-metal bucket of water into the slurry sump_ She thought _where you could hear it 'slurry' all the way down; and then to wash-out and replace from the outside tap pumped-up from the well re-filling the bucket and the decorated fired china clay bowl for washing, ready for the next use._

At bedtime: The Children first, then: The Adults. Parents Aunts and Uncles and many cousins...

Bagged bog-hare and rabid-rabbit rabid sickly and sick. Health problems and insecurity of work and market demands or with-work under-paid pay or under-staffed hard labour then without work only the rats and mice nested runs beetles and cockroach kept away by the epi-genetically domesticated cats and dogs that no-one owned, foxes and vixens. All fed and looked-after, ate, fed-on, and eaten like goat and chicken, for life, or not: as a last re-sort; and there were horses at the local stables, to ride at week-ends and holidays. Each month by cart, then by car or truck into The Market Town for food supplies and treats for The Children with whatever they had to sell, and buy.

Their Whole World: a living market place of work and play, and sell and pay like a circle, or cycle, or exciting un-predictable, circus, of never-ending life. Now great enclosed superstores and supermarkets and super-factory outlet superwarehouse parked.

_Where goods are now transported_ She thought of: _to and from, by railway train and motor vehicle, by great tanker lorries and container freight ship and aircraft to and from The Docks at The City Harbour hub and Airport humming near distantly away, remotely yet directing everyday life everywhere._

With Freight-Cargo for the Factory Workshops and Retail Markets and customers for: Business or mostly since this no longer required face-face contact anymore, or at least this now through the multiple screens established around workplaces and homes. Holiday-makers and Traveller-Tourist Hotel(s). With the affordable flight to get away from it all: necessary, a change, a necessary move, once in a while, not every year but to visit family here and there and elsewhere, or else you'd go stir-crazy; do a night-time flit, leave the rent, the mortgage, unpaid. Only to keep on fighting another day, for the bargain, cheapest within budget, to get through the next day; and the day after that.

_When debts and fines and fees could not be paid, the debt collector, bailiffs, the selling-off of the personal-possessions, and then the person..._ the lap-top personal-computer on sleep and awakened placed on the table booted-up and She blogged instantaneously her thoughts:

' _We all need a Roof over our heads and put Food on the Table! How?!'_

Without any other word or contextual continuity that did not remain obvious or evitable to this early morning. _Everyone, and anyone in the same and similar circumstances..._ getting the hastily tapped-out message twittering snap chatted briefly and her thought continued in the context of the mindful moment _and that which we all have to pay extortionately for over and again even when the food is eaten and the crap washed away there remains a nasty stain, a nasty taste. The original wages sweated over, wasted away and the loans ever in negative equity! To who?_ _Them!_

Looking-up, and down again now, not in dejection, but circumspection against ever apparent possible failure, with optimism, with perfectibility warning, waning. Below the window, only mechanised traffic building-up, soon into a busy rush-hour congestion. Cars and buses, bicycles, motorbike and motorised delivery truck _from here, and there only another view of the same._ _From two-sides; and every all sides..._ the bedrooms along the passage corridor, the sleeping Children slept.

Earlier peeked into _soundless in beautiful dream or dreamless seeming startling worrying death_ of self, and other...checked for breathing. Crossing from night into daytime TV, remotely automatically turned on confirmation that _Life Goes On._

The _Living_ -Room: as She entered bore all the chatter and the silence of one who listens, still and safe, cosy and secure. The other rooms took over the emotions and needs: sleep and food, love, and arguments. The central room, the central chamber looked on and awaited eventual almost inevitable, but never certain, or taken for granted, reconciliation and rest. Indulged in social events, noisy chatter and quiet evenings indoors:

' _You have to Work at it Everyday_...' she heard her Mother saying, about marriage, children, and life in general. The furniture was adequate and filled the room. Table, chairs, television, a draw and shelved cabinet standing against a wall, displaying various icons. Family photographs in frames: a portrait of a famous film star, or a print of an oil painting, ornaments, statuettes, figures of worship and of novelty. The furniture the infrastructure, from the livelihoods, and eventually:

'The Roof 0 _ver Our Heads...'_

' _In over our heads...' heard_ as originally spoken.

There were opened envelopes and cajoling leaflet advertisement _Kill your debts!_ _Die debts!_ She saw and thought of the remarkable coincidence between her vision, and thoughts. Letters and bills for payment, propped up behind a ticking clock. There was a picture postcard from someone-else's holiday, forming a picturesque frontage to hide the stack of demands for reply and payment which lay beyond.

She drew back the curtains and looked out of the window across the balcony, with its un-flowering plants growing in flower-pots. It was still misty outside from the early morning warming; and She gazed over an area where many lived and it seemed to her, this morning, where they too lived out their lives _day to day, week to week. They too thought to themselves_ as She looked-out onto the dawn of a gradually opening new day _that the world must have always been this way._

Soon the television was blaring as usual in the morning, in the main room that was empty again for the moment, and beyond where She was now dressing hurriedly, and He was brushing his hair frantically. There was the noise of children getting washed and dressed, with incessant commentary and conversation to each other, and any other, or just to themselves. To each other as a one-way argument older to younger, incited over some triviality, shouted back in frustration. At that point the only-game-in-town and to be fought-out until one of them is crying, and the other shouting-the-odds; before calm br-ings e _ven loving fun again_ at least while they all got ready for work, school and pre-school-nursery. The sound of the kettle screaming on the kitchen cooker and television advertisements conveying to deaf ears, and blind eyes, but perhaps receptive memory:

' _The Best in the World'_ ,

or:

' _Longer-lasting'_ ,

or whatever the dubious selling point perhaps to be _unconsciously_ recalled later that day at the supermarket. At present they seemed to be of no avail.

Both rushed to get the children to school, and themselves out to work. To earn the pay that would pay the prices at the supermarket later that day:

'Where is my shirt?' He called:

'Where you last put it!' She retorted. As She entered the living room She found Her shoes under a chair, and stopped in front of the television. The networked advertisements ended, and the programme-ramming returned to the main story of the day:

'Today there is no money to pay share dividends, or to buy shares with...'

_She flicked up_ a channel and got texted:

' _You? Safe?'_

And on: The-Screen:

'Individual and group share prices have collapsed or become so high that they have become worthless. Confidence has collapsed. Debt undiminished price

increases have been blamed, increases in pay and pensions have been blamed...'

'Increases in interest-rates and profit-levels have all been blamed.

Each of these has pushed share prices ever upwards. As share prices and shop

prices overtake the customer's ability to pay, and the ability to pay pushes prices-

up profit margins re-captured by increases in interest rates on banking and other

loans, these have pushed share prices up even further...'

Her view passed across the TV screen: _to locked factory-gates, ports and land borders closed to traffic or_ _trade. It did not seem too bad, or even unusual: the television experts and announcers liked to make a big_ _deal out of anything..._ She thought: _it was their jobs after all._

The pictures shifted To- _City Office Buildings that only a few people were being allowed into and then closed-doors' Security_ t _o The-City Squares and Circus's around The-Town and village-hamlets. City-Centres all over The Globe all The-Streets and Roads and Highways leading there_...

_T_ he TV reporter turned away from the camera, and let the scene somewhere else _could be anywhere_ speak for itself.

On the kitchen-radio reports followed:

'From: The Stock-Market(s) around The World: London; New-York NASDAQ; Tokyo Nikkei and North Korea-Seoul Taiwan-Taipei; Sydney, Australian Securities Exchange. HSBC Shanghai Hong-Kong Shenzhen, Hang-Seng; Malay Singapore Indonesian. Bangkok, Delhi, Bombay and Saudi and Egyptian Stock Exchanges. RTS Moscow. Nairobi, SIX-Swiss; Euro-NXT: Frankfurt Deutsch-Borse, BME-Spanish French Bourse.'

'Cape Town to: The Kenyan and Nigerian Stock Exchanges...'

'...London OMX-Nordic and then TMX-Canada Stock Exchange: New York Wall Street and Rio, again; BM&F Bovespa Sao-Paulo Buenos Aires Lima. JSE Securities and Investment-Banks...'

'Savings Insurance and Pensions...'

'What-Savings? Insurance? Pension?' She _questioned-aloud..._

'Government-sponsored Private-Public Business and Industry...' _Secretive shared-information would reveal..._

'Building and Nation-Builder(s): Urban-Land Institute(d). Real-Estate New-Century Accredited: _Un_ -Prudential: uni-Presidential: Appraisal: Country-Wide: Quest:...'

'Citi-Bank Northern-Rock Solid?'

' _Not...Freedom-Centre: Options Nova-Star or E*Trade NetBank!_ Mutual _Sun-Trust MortgageIT! The Rational-Equitable...'_

Luminent-Aegis! Green-Point Velocity-Agency Commercial Indy-Mac Re-Mae re-sume...

' _Horror-MIT's: Indian...Krugerand...'_

' _Shadow-Universe: Partisan-Mission Statement(s)...'_

'HSBC Royal-Scot...Bank(s)...'

'Bearns to Wachovia...'

'LandsBanki- to: Ice-Land...' as She went to look for tea-bags He got the cups out and put some bread under the grill to toast. As the cups were emptied and The Front Balcony Door: was opened to go out.

The Stock-Market Reports were interrupted by The Radio-Announcer(s) in tandem that:

'We have heard in the last few minutes that The International Conference of the Leaders of Governments and World-Banks meeting in Geneva are to make statements at midday mean-time on the current state of financial affairs across the globe. The Financial Economic Crisis' around The-Globe...'

They stopped and looked at each other as they heard the announcement:

'What will they come up with this time I wonder..? She asked aloud to Him, and to: The Radio Speaker as TV-off: _and as She went to the bathroom door_ :

'Come on you two! ' to: The-Children, and-to: Him in the same _breath_ :

'What time are you finishing?'

'On-Lates...again!' His reply; with a shrug, noticed, as She said:

'I'll have to clock off early then', and She _thought_ : _another opportunity to sack me for not doing overtime but if school finishes before work what are We supposed to do?_

'I'm taking them in to: School anyway ..!' He called.

'I know!', She replied.

'... we will have to go to The Super-Market tonight' added knowingly _a reluctant imperative when it came to it_ :

'Or tomorrow anyway...' She kissed him on the lips, quickly, tantalisingly, knowingly _these weekly and often daily shopping trips for basics, food and water with a shelter over their heads is what they did all this for?_

_Along with the mortgage-as-interest-only: rent and love of their family and children_ smiling:...

He went out of the door, and onto the communal balcony and hallway:

'Another Financial-Crisis!' He called out, to a neighbour, with more than a note of sarcasm, which did not need any reply, other than a disinterested:

'Is there?'

She went back inside: The Living-Room: and went to turn the television-on again. As the announcement of the impending declaration from Government-Leaders and World-Banks was being repeated:

'Won't make any _difference..!_ ' She shouted, over the noise of The-Television:

'...never does!'

She de-parted: The-Family-Home: soon- _afterwards..._

'Be careful, To-Day' He had said to Her:

'I love you' and She had replied:

'Ditto.'

She worked nights, evenings, day shifts. This week it was the late-day shift; or _the day late!_ as some liked to call it. From: The Ambulance Station: She arrived at and clocked-on. From where She drove the ambulance, maintenance engineering and assisted at incidents as The _First Aider_ third-responder to: first...but not yet as a so-called _SuperMedic_ like some of the other Crews had and She was training now towards: a _ccident and emergency trained up in skills and procedures' assessment of injuries, life or death sometimes._

Observing vital signs...moving patients safely, onto stretcher or aided walking, checking for any changes. To report to The Qualified Clinician and taking relevant-information from Carers and others at the scene administering First-Aid and supportive: (E)mergency Medical Procedures, transporting people to and from hospital, accident and emergency, the elderly and frail to The-Hospital: for check-ups and appointments.

It could be anything: Road-Accident mainly multiple severe injuries, or just a scratch.

Taking notes for: The Medics, and the (I)nsurance, and Police if there had been A Criminal Act. They would be on the scene-of-The-Crime. Alleged. Or The Fire-Service: if there had been a fire, or if someone needed cutting out of a car.

Rescuing from a roof. You name it. Anything, and everything could happen, and did. Never a dull moment. A good job, a great job, She enjoyed and was paid, well, reasonably well. Not poor. Definitely not rich! More poor it seemed daily recently, what with rising prices...could be a pedestrian, or housebound, head wound, heart attack, to a broken toe-bone.

_A busy_ Shopping-Centre _or:L-earner: on: A Country Lane..._

Sick-baby and worried-parent. Or elderly infirm, worried well, or unconcerned brawler wanting to carry the wound back into the bar, to show-off, not realising how much blood was being lost.

That's when you needed back-up. Sometimes a suicide. Under a train, not much you could do them, bag them up and the undertakers take them away, to the morgue. Maybe later just find out the official-cause-of-death: 'crushed' or 'shattered body' and 'body parts...' in the jargon. May have been pushed? On the roof, threatening to jump...

' _Go on then!' you always feel like saying:_

' _If you're going to! I've got children to collect from school!' Before thinking about the possibly seriously painful mess to clear up. For the public, family, not the suicide. Maybe they would kill someone else rather than themselves. Make a public show turn the hurt on themselves, or to be carted off and made safe in prison and their own death eventually..._

_Once: The-Bouncy-Castle (The_ Safety _-Sack Suicide-Mattress) set up against the wall, and the Terrorist gets bored and tired and decides to walk the stairs._

Could be someone fallen down stairs. Beaten-up in their own home. Domestic-violence, denying, screaming the odds. Unruly, intractable, recalcitrant, not well-behaved. Not well-mannered. Not biddable, broken-bones, not funny. It would all be reported, had to be. To the Social Care Agency, The Housing Project, The Police. They would press criminal-charges, if necessary. Must do, ought to. Some of the things you see....child-abuse...inflicted...We pitch-up and patch-up and tell their story as well as our own: witness.

Sometimes threatened as well. You had to stand your ground. Emergency blue-light, siren wailing. Steering in and out of that traffic, that never seemed to thin out, or even give way sometimes.

Still, that was: The-Job. Of: Work not-Home.

_Worth hanging onto. Going on to take the medic and paramedic exams in our own time; evenings and weekends, and bringing-up the children! Check out the vehicle, like it is a patient; stocked with bandages, medical and life-support equipment. Ventilator and de-fibrillator, stored properly and in good working order. Communication equipment, to the control-room..._ where She had started-out.

Learning how to differentiate one emergency from another.

Over mobile radio-T.V. online in-line:

Video-link, inside and out the vehicle, and _The patients!_ _They would joke...heckling themselves in their shared pain and need to overcome to relieve this agony of another, to help to heal._

Checking mileage, speed, safety, on the road, and in situ...clean. New documentation: date, time report charts, name... address if known, distinguishing features...

Check the fuel and oil and water, start up, at the start, and end of each shift...

_The ID-Driving-Licence: of course, and passenger public service classification, different gross weights and bearing gear shifts and light and heavy goods for the larger vehicles used-in: Public-Event*(s):_ now, though, the regular chat, only if there was time...when She got in this morning-shift the morning newspaper, with the Lotto numbers and television and radio pages: this job you could make more than a TV drama any day of the week.

_Fiction as Drama:_ She liked _a psycho murder thriller; or a biography. Not many of them write their own do they?_ She _thought_ to HerSelf.

_What next? I know: Nothing! or The rest of my life I haven't lived yet!_ The accident and emergency department and hospital wings were as quiet as usual first thing in the morning: _there's always time for things to change..._

She thought...in my life: time: job: rest: enter-tain-ment: sleep: a-wakening(s):

'It always gets busy as soon as I think it's going to be a quiet day!' She called to a colleague, and thought to herself: _turn around and something happens, then it all starts happening! You hardly have time to think until the shift is ended, and no overtime-pay!:_

'When did I last finish on the dot, the bell?' She asked herself rhetorically out-loud to the others re-peat-(ed):

'When did I last finish on the dot, the bell!!?' answering herself in response with a thoughtful but blank thought:

'Never!' they all chanted as if they had does this routine before.

Waiting for the first call. That's when it always happened. Commuters driving from home, to work. A van, or lorry, at work, driven recklessly. Someone in a car crash. On the way to work, domestic, accident, or not. On their way to early-morning deliveries. Or to a job...not anyone's fault that they are late for but they blame everyone and put their own as well as everyone else's life at risk...

As if they are the only ones on the road:

' _So. Who does not have an appointment to reach?!@ With fate, and a social duty ahead:_

' _Slow Down! You are not the only one! Think Safety!'_ _The imperative to get –to and to-keep working too-ridiculous, ridiculous time(s0-set time-frames, shift(s)..._

So. She could Feed Self and Family; and others could be fed, and keep: to: stay-alive...

_Re-ferrals from All-Night Doctors; there was always work waiting anyway. No later than sooner, the first call of the day:_ the drunks and addicts and _Home more-or-less..._

Who slipped-in and slept-in with the waking-night-staff in the waiting-rooms during the night-shift and had to be moved-on; for the _EarlyDay shift_ to start.

_It was not any different today no day ever the-Same...although the last call out had been a disturbance._ Some missiles thrown, and one person injured, the police were on the scene. When the ambulance crew arrived, the crowd had been moved away the nightshift Ambulance-crew told them all about it when they got back: The Bank had not opened. A queue, a line had formed outside many metres long and wide, a crowd really. Of staff locked-out, and angry, upset, worried, scared, lackadaisical customers, with people trying to get wages and savings out The-Bank unlike the Hospital:

_Closed until Further Notice_.

There had been a _scuffle_ between two of the waiting Bank customers over an unpaid unwritten loan, and eventually, after others had got embroiled, two or three lay injured.

Someone, bystander, onlooker, passer-by had called an ambulance. Several on-lookers came up to them, as they went to see to the injured customer, or patient-to-be; and the crowd, realising The Bank was not likely to open had dispersed to await the further news.

To see if The Bank might open that afternoon.

She was on next call but was not needed. The injuries were only slight, but the scene was ominous, an _omen it seemed for the day._ _If any real disaster did strike_ She often thought _only enough bandages and fuel for the ambulance for a few days, and only if that is rationed from The Start._

_Only enough food at home, the same. The closer to the monthly Big Shop time, the less there was at home. Nothing-left-in-the house'(as they called it: the apartment really...nothing left, at home!)_ _Not stocked up recently, and can hardly afford to go more than for a few days at a time. Sometimes, only one day at a time, for bread and milk, without replenishing need, and staple-goods...basics, nevermind the ordinary-Luxuries...as necessities..._

Everyone was talking about the crash of The Stock-Markets and the announcement expected at midday:

'We'll have to go to The Super-Market tonight!' She had called after him as He had left and left a voice-message and text; and _He collecting the children later or She? Her-Self??_

With certain familial protective panic immediate: after her first shift was done without-overtime...

She would be on second school-shift later in the day hand-over to the word second-day shift to the early evening-nightshift: split-shifts it was and would have to be:

' _You going to Work or The Rally, now?'_

' _Midday? Finished-by: 'You collecting The Children!?'_

Suddenly, everything seemed more uncertain. And She really did start to wonder, what this day would bring:...

'Not Closed. Open for The Day' notice pinned on The School-Gate. He re-passed-on: The Way To Work: and now brought back to mind _: thank goodness_...had been His immediate response.

Although there were mutterings and mumblings about _whether: The Teachers and Nursery-Nurses would actually see their pay and pensions this month. How long The Parents would be able to keep on paying through taxation: for:_

_The Basic Free-Education: never mind the Ex-tra-i-ning-trips and activities equipment for this and that..._ a _t least:_

_He texted her:_ The School was open and The Children did not need collecting until She finished her first-shift.

Would She be needed after that? He asked. Finished his late morning-shift at: The Bakery later that Day: after The Rally.

The deliveries would resume and the next days' batches made-up and put in the ovens for:

'Super-Baking' as it was called.

So that She could return to the Ambulance Station and start Her second split-shift:

'Don't forget: The After-School Club!' The Older-One had called after him:

'I Will Tell Your Mother!' He had called-back:

'OK!'

'Half-day today?' The-School-Teacher joked, and laughing together,

'No-Chance!' and He meeting a WorkMate on the way to work...

The-Banker sat-back purposefully, purportedly and provocatively to-unfold and having unusually had to purchase: _The Financial-Newspaper_ with the headline outer-most, upper-most:

WORLD MARKETS IN TURMOIL!

and _seen_ again _that_ photograph taking up the whole of The _grey_ -top printed front-page remaindered and pictured in the _mind_ s' eye.

Now: turned inside-out and with a staring squeezed blink of the eyes, _fumbled_ as if in a freak storm, a blown umbrella, folded quickly-away.

As if with some felt need for _validation, valediction, justification, testimony, guilt? Even before any biased evidential fact-based fiction?_ With a self and another-deceiving finality justifying, with instant-conviction... _but of who? By whom?_ Despite the original opening-question, it seemed as if with no real right-of-reply. The initial conversational-question about what to make of _it_ All?

Asked as if not- _intended_ to be replied-to or any other-mindedly _mitigating_ circumstances or any-answer-at–all particularly, or generally, listened-to or taken any notice-of. Yet. Or so the younger-Clerk, surprised to be spoken-to, then considered: _perhaps like a nurture-nature kind of thing?_

_Possibly a-Plebeian enquiry? Selected-standard flagged with no-probation:_ The-Clerk decided: _more likely a command, to make something of IT, and to-be-taken-notice-of: mostly self-importantly: County-Country:_ E _-State: local-Fund(s) at study work life and death: democracy cannot flourish in-fear hate anger: only open-questioning: at any-Time and Space: constantly changing: Roots amongst seeming-Rage?

'What is that?' _and having to say:_

'Be careful!' _every second, and_ :

'Stop!...making me have to say:

'Be Careful!' every second!' and they giggling together, at what, He knew not what.

Not-even _imagining(s):_ A Time: _when:_ He and She would not be going to work, and The-Children: to School and Nursery and then keeping Them into: Our-Dotage: _probably!_ Going to pick up _the fallen walking running-off:_ child grabbing the perambulator again, and continuing walking on the uneven pavement road:

'Do Not Run! You'll _Trip! Over...!_ '

The walking child hearing only the middle word:

'Run!'; and wondering what all the shouting was about, and running:

'Stop! at the edge!' hearing all the words this time: _thoughtfully_ :

'O.K?'

'O.K.!'

_Trying-out_ these new words heard from them and at: The School:

'Stop!'

**The_Walke** r:...running now and stopping at the pedestrian-crossing to get collided in to and rolling on the ground giggling _The Road!_ getting up and running off laughing, looking backwards,

'STOP!'

Having crossed the crossing turning confidently the opposite way,

'This way!' onto the next junction,

'Stop! at the kerb!'

He catching up, pushing the pushchair ahead The Walker hanging on, over the kerb and into the road.

Looking both ways all ways and then both ways again. Then back again, one last way this time: _too quickly...going to Run!_ The way the traffic was headed, moving slowly, one car stopped, and let them across, to a wave returned. Watching-out, for all three and to the oncoming traffic split, by traffic lights commanding: _Stop, Start, or Pause..._ Walk! To the other side safely chasing on ahead to The Shop. The 'Little-'un' in the buggy trying to get out to follow, screaming and pointing with one then both index-fingers toward the road,

'Taxi!'

swivelling around almost falling-out. Pointing, ahead:

'Bus!' the other returning, giggling:

'A. Bus!' correcting, and then as they passed The Shop pleading verbally and non-verbally tugging and whining for _sugar_ (y)()-sweets:

'Helicopter! Kit-for-Kat!'

'Coca-Cola Ambulance! Tit-for Tat!!

'This for That!!!'

singing, and pointing and swivelling around again:

'The Shop!' the other:

'Sweets! categorically. _Usually not until they came home from school and nursery. Even then only some days, and if they had been good at school or nursery. But always worth a try...._ pointing, jumping up-and-down, on the buggy, the other falling out, buckles unbuckled, by the older one:

'As long as you behave yourselves today, and they're not too bad for your teeth, and you clean your teeth!' _they knew that_ giggling all the more, at some reference only they knew. To the words, the noises, and the tone of voice, the bedtime:

'Clean your teeth! _Proper_ ly!!'

'Clean your teeth! _Proper-_ ly!!'

The _Youngerer_ One: repeated, and they went into more fits of _giggles_...

Into: The News-Agent-come-Grocers' and Confectionary Shop and sometime Licensed off-Licence Liqueur and Drugs Store where He and She, and They, stopped each morning, for a quick pain-relief head and stomach-ache: _fresh_ bread or newspaper.

On the way to nursery and school, when it was his turn, always the possibility of sweets as well. As they crashed through the door the older one getting deliberately, or so it seemed, in the way of the baby-buggy. Asserting rights and responsibilities over the other smaller and weaker, and released both leaning up at The Shop counter.

Not unusually but always predictably in the morning rush _with so many other things to think about_ the only thought, unable to think about anything else:

Food shopping tonight? Newspaper? Sweets?

The BabyBuggy: almost tipped over in the raucous, the older one falling over the younger, strapped in, strained at the straps, snapping painfully back.

Letting out an ear piercing yell.

The Older One: un-still giggling, until the younger lashed- _out as only younger siblings know how too_ and the older one let out a _Yell!_ then a _Scream!_ ; apparently exaggerated explication of pain from both now, and claims of _unfairness idiot! etc._

'Come-on you're The Older One, you should know better! Do you have to have to fight and argue over everything! No sweets!' and then He knew, as soon as He said that that: He was _A Beaten Man._

A yet louder exclamation set-up.

While: The Younger One: _looking on in vigour and glee, quieted and puzzled; twisted turned looking upwards to_ The Father for some resolution to the questioning plea, and fell out of the buggy, unbuckled:

'Me a' well?'

Looking up from the floor, the older standing and going to stamp on the younger, smiling sweetly now, the other sprawled on the floor as if felled:

'The Smiling Assassin!' He called-out from the front of The Shop in common reference to the older child and to The Shopkeeper grinning in collaboration, and who was stacking shelves from remaining stock.

He, holding-up the regular: National _Financial_ -Newspaper: The Shopkeeper called:

'You may as well keep that!' to the loose change being handed over the counter:

'...it will be like one of those free ones!'

_Hearing_ and not listened-to until later, scanning the headlines:

STOCK-MARKETS IN CHAOS!

The money placed on the shop-counter chuckling, when the remark realised:

'No, I got it!' minding: The Children...who were not fighting but pretending to steal sweets _not knowing any better yet_ , knowing better, laughing and looking palpably guilty. The Shopkeeper bagged and handed over most of what it was they-wanted:

'There you are, for later...your Dad's change!' the customary sweets as a gift now _in-change sometimes anyway_ for a small note passed across the counter. From the Shopkeeper, to them, and then him:

'Daddy keep it...for later'

The Children looking _pleased_ , and anxious also that they too might have to 'keep it for later' with only then the conditional:

'And only if you are Good today! All Day!!' _the emotional and ethical merged into puzzlement_. Sweets given to The Father patiently waiting to get off to nursery, school and work.

Again consternation, put-on, by the older child to The Younger. Pouting, dropped lower-lip. Acting-out, pretending, face pulling. Puzzled at, and copied by the younger. Both laughing at this, and between themselves, at something they did not really know: what it was _to Be Good_...

Today or: _all day_ ; or how or what it was to attain this.

6. He.

They had stayed together, a family and with two little ones, one of each, girl and boy by the time they're both about to be in school, they could not risk another to bring up, and the cost of it.

They only hoped they would hold on to their jobs, and worked hard. Difficult hours, and few days-off. Where the rota's didn't workout for childcare, family, or neighbours, parents now friends of the children's friends who lived conveniently nearby: The Social Network...from the cradle to Nursery School and Work.

Diapers to Di-p-loma to District Directorate...

They had met when things were starting to get a bit tight, get difficult again. Meaning the situation for most working families, for those looking for work, and those in work, things had not got any better, any easier really during the so-called good-times, and both parents were needed to work to keep the family going. Voluntary social networks became all the more significant, and reciprocal. Shared-care with child and adult interaction, thereby social and meaningful: shared lives between people, and gender. They had both kept their jobs in, more or less essential services, although not without their job-cuts and reduced hours, or expected overtime at the same or no pay, ever-the-less, never the more, in real-terms...

When: The Bakery 'Factory' went on three-days week, and pay to match. He had more time to be with the children, and helped the same with others still in fulltime work, or her awkward shiftwork.

He had done some untaxed building work on the odd-days to fill-in. She had done some shop and garment-making work before then when they were no-longer hiring, took re-training... Ambulance-Driver Her current-Work: She hurried toward, as did He his as a Factory-Baker.

Then they had moved to His folks in The City: suburbs really, inner-urban, something-like-that. His mother had worked at The Old Mill and got her a job there; and then with him at The Bakers' Factory at the top of the road, near the nursery and school, when they had moved in together; and had kids. Turn right, then left, and a few more turns, before The Factory Gates.

His Father's Family had been Millers too; before that Gypsies as EveryOne before once... Did well. Moving around...

_Funnily enough_ He-thought _like Government-Corporate People nowadays do... Business-Trip Metings Decision(s)..._ looking across the busy roads beyond, leading to The-City.

To The-Airport _to visit SalesPeople to The Retail Outlets: Shops in other words: Big Business. Marketing, and Sales. By plane to meet clients meetings here and there and everywhere. Cities all over, to do deals on a massive Global-Scale worth millions, now worth billions and trillions of whatever the currency dealing even in the currency itself. In the past when the work dried-up his' family 'moved along' or stayed with their stores, shares of the crops of the fields and water, natural and free from the well. Waiting for more or different labour or better paid to the costs of running the household..._

He thought _of them, and his own family. Out of work, they always found something. When the work was finished, they moved on. Along the waterways, they not dissimilar, but also different from her family. They had a farm in the countryside for a while, and the parents still lived there. Hers. He and She, now, through the Industrial Future. To The Soul of The City. Across The River, across the tram tracks, and railway, by the station._

From The Heart of the City, the Financial Quarter. Settling in The City outskirts. His self-employed, their own bosses, worked on the building sites of towering sky-scrapers, lining The River. Then employed. Not their own boss. Both their families on some land, renting from their pay together. Then they, He and She eventually, buying: homeowners now. Investors in their own future, and their Children's' children...

7. Shop.

She'd pressed the OFF switch, and They all had left for school and work. _Now,_ closing all the windows and door behind her, a short while later and going where those others' had set-out and others still were leaving front doors for the days school and work and buying and selling activity ahead.

Outside and downstairs, through the piles of discarded rubbish and the door wedged open. To the blocked refuse-chute, to the stairs and the _If-it's-working_ lift down to the ground floor: t _he worst thing standing inside the open lift door not being sure if the elevator was going to work, or not. Or go crashing to the ground, like everything else today,_ She- _thought_.

He was _on-a-late_ and so _He was taking the children to school and nursery. He would not be collecting them later today._

When Her shift finished. She could normally do overtime but today to clock-off to collect them. _If there were no emergencies, that was_. Then She would have to phone one of the other Mothers or Fathers to collect their Children as well, _if_ they _could?_

She entered The- _same_ -Shop He had recently departed with The Children. Only a few minutes, but crucial lateness seconds earlier:

'Got any Bread in?'

'Not your turn to The School today then?'

'Early-late...' She re-plied. The-Shopkeeper:

'You may as well take One there only One-Day- _stale_ so-far...'

'One-Day?'

'Since Midday...' _midnight, half-that_ :

'Yesterday.'

'The Midday: InterNationAl-CON!-Ference...'

'C _on_ -ference? climbing-down off a stool-from-stacking-shelves:

'It's gone stale already hasn't it? Never-mind: The Bakery!'

'Haven't seen them yet today!'

Today: The Shop: Open: _as-usual ready to stock-up again with the usual days-supplies that had been 'phoned in the day before_ this _: or rather_ :

'It looks like it is _whenever The Bakery turns up_!'

Then, not for the first time:

'Your better-half works at The Bakery doesn't He?'

Then:

'Saw him with the kids earlier, no sweets until after school!'

Then:

' _My_ significant- _Other.'_

'Mine went out early enough today to: The Cash and Carry: then: Bakery. Be-cause they haven't turned up or answering calls, gone there to collect _ourselves...and_ not back yet! I phoned-in the order. They put on a message eventually: _said:_ 'No Deliveries yet Today. We will keep you up-dated...then online frozen. Nothings' moving yet...looks' _like:..._ '

Then:

'Going to see if we can collect bread and cakes later baked! There's a Midday-meeting at: The Bakery Factory. At: The Food-Queue:'

'Food-Bank(s)...'

'Probably!' _pointing at the dry loaves on the shelf_ :

'Going stale!' momentarily paused, then:

'No Cash, No Carry!'

Exclaimed:

'Fresh is Best!' concluded as The Shopkeeper continued to Her:

'But _this_ we get from Your Bakery, you know, it doesn't last! Gets chucked' _chuckled_. I _Have:_ to: _Health and Safety_ it, or give it to _The Bin-Raiders_ out the back! They have it! Still, can't blame them can you? Poor beggars...I leave it for those that take it...' _homeless, dis-advantaged immediately mostly you know, or out of work, on: Welfare-Ben(e)fits that go nowhere poor and hungry and Hom(e)less..._

'That's where we'll all finish-up...'

'If we're not careful!'

She called: The-Shopkeeper: re-plying:

'The Army of Homeless@...they take the out of time, toast out of-date bread on one of those outdoors braziers, you know? They sleep under: The Bridge-Arch(es) you know. It don't seem to worry them...'

'All yesterday's bread has gone: barring-One! _Panic_ -buying!'

'Panic-buying? What already?'

'Only that one loaf left now. We won't get another delivery today I dare say. And I am told:

'We don't know when!''

'Well, if '...they don't know? Only: The News'papers delivered so far, and I haven't paid for them yet. Only pay for what I sell: nothing on re-turns...'

'How's that?' doubly surprised at the apparent revelation: _that not everything had to be paid for up-front: Credit. Re-cycled for the next day..._

The-Shopkeeper: came towards the counter of the shop, and continued:

'You can give me all the money you've got if you like. No change though...sweets instead, confectionary, like the last time! Inflation!'

'For; The Children...' _continuing..._

'The Banks are not-open. So, you won't be able to get any F'foldin'-Money or Cash Out of The Machines _anyway_. Never be able to sell _This_ -Place now. You know? I've been trying to sell-off The-Shop and its Stock to Pay-off Loans and Bills on The-Shop: and on the stock; but no buyers. Not yet. Not now. I'd have to sell-off at too low a price...or perhaps too high...maybe...'

Then:

'I'll just Up-and-Go: sometime...' _leave it all behind_.

'Family? Any Buyers yet?' She asked, not listening, heard it before; _and not just This Shopkeeper. All the Local Shops were known either by the name on the front of the shop, or the Legal-Nationality: Sovereignty Ethnic-Ethic:_ I _dentity of the-Family: that owned, or rented that shop, and its' stocks and shares, and did their business there small retailers, family-run Businesses across The Globe: despite the SuperMalls and HyperHeroes Markets' still the way most Trade finishes up: from the roadside, to and from: The Town and The-City Market-Places lined the streets in and roads out and, of course, to the Stock-Markets and Money-Markets..._

' _Waitin' for the Price to Drop even further... '_

She pondered.

She looked at the front page of the newspaper unfolded, and thrown onto the worn- _light_ dark varnished and metal-trimmed wooded surface.

She glanced at a cartoon which depicted The Finance Ministers heads in hands sitting on stacks of money; no words needed, but a comment She read for free, without intending to buy, on the inside page:

The Inside Page:

In the last weeks and months there have been queues in shops for scarce goods,

rationed by ability to pay. There have been queues to spend, instead of investing,

pay, pensions, and profits, before they became worthless. The prices of goods and

services have increased week by week and day by day, as _more_ as ever again...

She pondered again: _Don't we just know it! So what's so different!_

She wondered, and said:

'So what's so different!' to no-one in particular: _how the small shops and retailers and service providers like health and social care, whether small cottage hospital or fast-food chain._

How the small shops managed at all. With all the Hyper-Markets; Super-Markets Out of Town Shopping Malls and Giant Chain-Stores...that everyone shopped at, because they could not better afford the prices and: Scamming Special-Offers...

Hyper Super-Markets' paid up-front but cheaply, and only what they thought they could sell at a good profit and what people could afford paid not at all on what they did not sell or could not purchase...

Fixed the costs and prices in theirs and no-one else's favour toxic chemical manufactured shit fertiliser intensive meat and dairy dis-integrated organic-Earth: intellectual-property patented re-parented cross-seed global-generational multi-cultural food-crop(s) e-Quality...tech....

The Shopkeeper had continued without stopping hardly, and stocking the shelves and the final aisle way finished:

'...that's it! Everything is out. I'm now officially almost out of stock!' _apart from what I've got in the back for me and the family for a few days..._

The shopkeeper pondered the arrival of a starving family...his, starving family as any other:

'...and that's it!'

The train of _thought_ returning to re-stacking the meagre shelves with the remaining stock, and with some finality:

'Not getting in even enough customers to cover the household ourselves! Existing loans on capital, stock and shop; rent is un-paid for the _year..._ '

Back at the counter, handing the money-back:

'Go-on, you may as well take it! Here, why don't your Other half bring us some nice freshly baked bread to stock up the shop with?! That's where He works, it is isn't it? They 've closed the works. Again, did you know?! I owe them anyway, The Bakery, The Cash and Carry, you name it! I'm well into negative equity now! The amount the shop owes...is owed. Never sell up now, have to give it away!'

Then:

'That is where He _works_ 'though, isn't it? The Bakery?'

'Not any more it seems...' her sullen answer.

The Shop Keeper then with a renewed finality:

'How about a Free Newspaper, then!?'

'Everything else has been taken from us, they've bled us dry!' She exclaimed, without irony; restrained and mixed with anxious mirth. She said to stem the merriment:

'HaHa...You know We don't even get bread re-tail from The Bakery: nevermind _free-_ Newspapers!'

'Have to steal it then?'

'They are All _that_ tight with _their_ : Profit(s)...'

'...and Credit! Credit or Profit for What?! That's what it is! Like you have to work to buy food before you can eat even if you're starving!'

'Even although He _works_ there?!'

The Shop Keeper and She added together:

'How _stupid_ is that?! Un-caring-for-your workers and staffed as cheaply as searched for any takeouts! Hired&Fired. On the spot! Stealing-loaves...The Bakery: wants to make as much profit out of us as they can. Same as the Hospital! And That is lives! Not- _lies..._ s _tealing-lives! Saving!_ Out of all of us! Never mind the _measly_ pay! Anyway...' pointing a thumb back through the door:

'If The Bakery works are closed, no-Bread...'

'And no Cake either; not today, at least!'

The money for a small loaf was put on the counter and the large sliced loaf in its _mould-inducing plastic wrapper_ and the newspaper with its banner headline declaring:

STOCK MARKETS IN CHAOS

was carried-off.

'Will you be going into: The Rally?'

How much is-enough?_ And: _How much is at stake here? Exactly?_ as instantly both now regretting the opening-given to the exclusion of anyone-else in:

The Train-Carriage. As both-enjoined as advertently now in a two-way dialogue of which at that immediate-point there was persisting, yet only:

'Limited- _information_...'

'In-sight.'

'All likewise:'

The Banker and The Clerk: _momentarily_ inadvertently and actually _advert-_ o-rially making eye-contact: _flash_ -framed each-other and through the closed shared-window as in bright- rainbow and sky-coloured mirrored; as, through each of-themselves _en-raptured_ recklessly perhaps to be wrecked or saved as over-crossing:

9. Your Debts? Your-Bet? The Bait is Laid.

He called-in to: The Bakery and after sending the text about going-to: The Rally. As: The Walker walked not-ran toward The School-Door since: The-Teacher was now in-charge, and He: settled the younger child into nursery and out through The School Gate He met a Work-Mate also, going towards: ' _The Works'_ : The Bakery: The- _Factory_ as it was known: The Bakery: The Factory-Gate.

From The Nursery School passed the old religious buildings at the top of the road.

Now a Friend and Neighbour from the same Residential Housing Street walking in the opposite-direction and now shared: The Journey Home:

'Not going in ...'

The Other had said:

'No Good. They've shut The Factory again!'

'Remember last time?'

'Few more out of work, three day week again? I Know only too well! What now? Zero-hours!'

'Work for _No-Thing?_ '

'The last time, and the time before that!'

' 'It' has happened before!' was the blunt reply without irony. The Other replied:

'Its' _Close-down_ Time for good _this_ time we reckon...'

'There is A Meeting mid-day...'

The Other continued:

'The Factory-Gates! We'll find out then!..' and _laughing_ :

'See you there!' shouted as they passed closed shops and each to their separate homes _laughing_ at what they could not be sure _like The Childr_ e _n: waving and laughing too, at what they knew not what._ _Awaiting midday afternoon when they would meet up again._ _Or would: The Rally finally put pay to all their carefully laid plans for the day? The Children...half-day..._

_He remembered...The Midday Inter-National Government Conference:_ they had walked back towards their homes.

Passed by other shops nodded and said hello:

'Hello' to The Shopkeepers and The Paying Customers standing around inside and outside on The Street as they passed:

'What's going to happen then?' Another called over:

'Nothing!' He called back. Then to The Friendly Neighbour walking alongside:

' _Nothing_...again!' Then up the stairs to the apartment along the balcony walkway. When He got indoors with the key, shouted:

'Hello! Home!' only out of habit and out of habit switched on the T.V. and He: started to clear-the-breakfast-things away.

She had already set off for work, with a sandwich and the last of the bread remaining calling after him, and He then thinking: _Did I say I'd bring some bread home?_ _She'd said earlier:_

' _We need bread!' laughing:_

' _And bandages! If you're hungry...even if it's stolen!'_

' _If you hungry from work...you hungry!_ If you _hungry_ -before... _I'll get some in later anyway, in any case if there is any left over, anyway, I'll have to to take it and risk my job...'_

' _Sour-dough here!' She had replied, and She then:_

' _Don't lose your job over a loaf of bread!'_ thinking: _it was lucky I got some in yesterday. He_ thought: _or sheer skill remembering what She'd told me before I went to work the same yesterday...and I_ didn't _forget..._

Then, to now: _and now it's all gone!_

_But this time...tomorrow..._ and as He settled-down with a _last of the bread_ wrapped bandaged toasted-dry sandwich in front of the television to watch events unfold: He wondered: _or did I just imagine that? From some Other time, yesterday? or at all, anyway..._

_Anyway: What does it matter. We need bread...and I'll get some later..._ then mindful _of: The Midday Meeting at work and collecting...looking-out for looking-after: The Children..._

_Shopping later at the supermarket_ wondering: _what would happen if there was no bread. No work? No money to pay for the bread, the shopping? The mortgage?_ worry reserved-not for what would occur anyway...which as yet He did not know for sure, for certain, what would happen today.

Only what _might_ what-may occur. What could occur. What Can occur kicking the-can down the road.

C _ould_ -not would occur which was all He could really think about existential angst...compre-hension-essential...what _should_ occur?

What Shall Occur...Hopes and fear meshed with Love&Hate!

Home, and a sandwich at this very moment...with whatever is left in the bottom of the bread-bin and some _half-empty or half-full jar or a tub of something and back to work..._ or not. _Before the meeting at midday...collecting The Children...half-day telling her..._ reading quickly, scanning the front page of The Newspaper paid-for:

**Stock-Markets in Chaos** **!**

Today, there is so much owed by so many, that cannot even start to be paid-
out, or will ever be paid-back. This morning the stock-markets are closed.

Once more world trade has ground a halt. All financial currency and

credit/loans trading, the trading of stocks and shares that in recent times has

left prices at all high time levels, overnight have collapsed.

We are in the greatest fiscal and financial crisis ever; and yet

again...

At-Home: _no hurry_ _yet_ He realised: TV-Home: _Food-First then...again: Street and Super-Market: if or if not before, this time: that He didn't have any cash._

Only a couple of plastic notes, the cash-card machines would be empty. If The Banks were closed, and there had been panic withdrawing, as well as buying yesterday, there would be none left, and anyway risk going around and topping them up with new notes now wouldn't there? Money riots? Pillaging Smash 'n' Grab! Striking-first! On-Strike! Lightning! Wildcat! Same thing...something: stoppage looting...on TV-information like a game being played-out elsewhere:

_Going-slowly...the: Armoured Security Vehicle: bullet-proof cars, dark and light brown, black and silver striped, dusty rumbling over the go slow cobbled pedestrianised street_ as seen _: shops either side walking down the centre..._ the _imagined_ seen-crowds _emerged into: The City Square: emptied except of Troop carriers and Tanks._

Automatic Teller Machine...emptied well before...so simply locked and bare barred yet empty. The security-vehicles will be headed-back or staying in base...keeping all the money for themselves! Under-Orders no doubt. Police escort definitely; and The Supermarket would not be open anyway. Since most people paid by credit/debit card. There would be shortages already, on the shelves, after one day. They were all virtually 24/7 anyway...of the day everyday...week, month and year. It would all be Gone. Bought or or robbed or hoarded frozen in the freezer for later...

Possibly: The Bakery Factory: raided with violence.

For: Work. Bread and Hospitable(s):or unpaid taxes who'd know! No deliveries anymore...they'll be closed. Waiting with all their stock for the prices...

' _To Rise-UP!Take-Control!!'_ He exclaimed to himself. In-image of rioting threatened looting, hundreds, thousands of shoppers stripping the shelves of everything _paying, or not._

_The-Supermarket? Could be open tomorrow; if everything was sorted-out by then_ He wondered _If?_ _And how much would everything cost, once it was all sorted out? With what pay? None? What about the food and everything? Ourselves? Our families? Our Mothers and Brothers...and Sisters..._

_Compadres...duty-bound, to each other and to_ Them to their _Stock-Holders...Workers-Groups! Ourselves! Yet, individuals with individuals wishes and needs and selfishness. Anyway paid and pensioned-off if we are lucky in and finished work...putting the prices-up they'll tell us! To their-customers who are US! Trying to keep prices down they say...Price wars? Shopping Wars! or colluding...colliding tender-Gender War(s):_ almost: brutal _-Battle(s)-of-The-Sexes Game-Show: Logic analysing: Guessing..._

*

They themselves He and She and The Children and extended-Family: Friends and Neighbours: Other-people we meet on the way, and lose, EveryOne: event-u-ally: _would have enough to stock at Home and then be broke again and if we don't get paid into The Bank and then to The Shops, then what?!_ and suddenly He thought less calmly.

They had to get some money from The Bank and The Mortgage had to be paid: _would The Mortgage be paid if The Bank was closed? There was some food in the kitchen, and water in the tap. He had a little money. She always had some...usually..._

_So they should be alright for a few days? Perhaps? The-Banks had been shut before. Bank Holidays! That's all! It would get sorted out._ _After this enforced holiday...the shops always open the holidays to grab everyone's Cash while The Banks are closed anyway. The Bank(s) are never closed...auto-money that is what it is now..._

Online...go to: The Supermarket. Closed. Tomorrow, when The-Banks would be open again and shelves and cash-machines re-filled. Like fuel-stops, and cards and online banking re-commence...again:

' _After all,_ they are not going to want to lose business' He said out aloud and to himself:

'I get paid so that They get paid and They pay people like me to pay: The Prices to Pay them back on Credit: _and so it goes around._..'

'Everything-Cost(s)...' To: no-one else there except the TV screen in the background:

'Basics:Staple(s): Fuel and Foodstuffs...'

'Health and Social-Care: _...' when markets back in the black...from the red...credit...screen-_ blues and yellows and greens _flashed_ across the _screen...'_ a-scream! On the T.V. more reports from:

The Stock-Market(s): around: The World. Those that had closed, or opened and then closed immediately:

'The City, the Financial Quarters...'

'Are awaiting _instruction_ from The-Government(s) and Big Business's...'

'...and: _The-Market Street and International Experts to give their expert Opinion...' opining:_ minor-officials from: The Banks and The Governments' made statements to the effect that:

'The Banks were: Closed...To: Day... _as if anyone did not know that by_ now...'

'Unless they were brain- dead; or living in the middle of the jungle or the desert-fossil(s): or on top of a mountain with no electricity, no radio-signal, no fuel for _smoke-_ signals:...'

'Government –0fficials are meeting to discuss:...'

'The-Crisi(s): Around The World...' from the TV screen:

'To: Day:...'

'The Statement at Midday...'

'...would Calm _Fears_ of Looting...' etc. _never mind looting that had already happened and was about to kick off again somewhere, maybe even here._

Maybe our street, our Home-Food: in the Kitchen-water:... in the tap shut-off through non-payment...

The News: continued to come in from around the world and was broadcast _simultaneously..._ raw and un-edited reports on audio and video from Cities and The Country-sides cataloguing _unfolding_ events. The sound and pictures of people meeting, being interviewed. Ready to comment on the announcements and their responses:

'Temporary shelter tents etc. food and water...'

'Women and children are at The Railway Station fleeing...'

'Stock-piling...Food-Riots!'

'Water!'

'In the dust and debris...' and the like:

'In the fields homesteads and out houses...buildings on fire...' suddenly from The-City streets:

'Convoys blocking the way...in some places Economic-Political Religious Race-Rioting:' as sides taken...the assumed poor stealing from the richer...lootings as stabbings by- _force buildings burned: Hospital Doctors and Nearest Electrical Rational-Engineers; Architects and Builders their Work undone Ambulance gone to help the last emergency emergency-services attacked for trying to save: Police or Army casualties and The-Demonstrators!_

_Blown-Up! Killed! Shot at with Buck-Shot Tirade. It didn't matter who they were. Mis-understood, dangerous-language, perhaps, uniforms. Phrases, trying to make the situation more understandable, not less_ :

_Any excuse_ He thought and then heard:

'Shelling gunfire...fields land-mined...cluster-bombed...'

'Attacking or Defending?' _Fighting-back. I always understand how my enemy thinks. And when you truly(?) try to-understand also you love them impossible not to love as they love themselves..._

Afraid you won't understand. Afraid you'll lose. _Attacking obviously_ He thought:

' _It is Difficult to Tell...'_ from the T.V.

N _ot from here it isn't_ She thought _fighting back against Governments, and The World Bank and Global Trade-Markets...as they see it._

Necessary as they made themselves seem but it wasn't necessary at all except for themselves and the competition from the people:

'Accountable! No Surrender! No Trust monopoly! Price! Rate-fixing...Global National Sovereign Governments and Big Business Corporations and lending-Bank's leaders meeting face-face. Others via satellite links...' _telephones and facsimile machines whirring and humming helicopters buzzed in and out of The InterNational Global World Conference-Site:_

'Some developments...announcements _will_ be made before Midday...we are told...'

'To: stem uncertainty...violence and...anger frustration against felt-oppression...'

'W _ill they Work? Will they be believed?'_

Lines were drawn and withdrawn. Re-drawn and drawn, anew; and still again it seems:

'There are still, too many vested-in-tere(sts).'

'That divide, that could not in one or the next session get resolved, _yet..._ '

From The TV Studio:

Blank-screen as if transmission lost for a moment then inter _-rupted_ :

'People arrived to work to join the Meetings and Demonstrations that are already gathering in great numbers at workplaces, towns squares and piazza and village-streets and roads and streets in City Centres...

As the whole world it seems protests in Town and City-Square...Shopping-Mall...' and as cinematic as a musical theatre-hall on-line and in front of TV: The President's Face appeared: _more and more elaborate excuses and blame._

Conscionable Self and The Other. Not caring for Them! or Anyone...anyway.

More Anger Fear and Blame. Self-satisfied, and lying, self-assured lustful delirium reaction at being caught-out:

' _The-Crisis..._ This _-Time.'_

It was difficult to tell if at the beginning or end or an almost endless sounding speech _perhaps on loop..._

The-President looked drawn. But was adamant no-changes or some changes would be made, after the previous offer of limited change had been ignored and _the speech went on and on, round and round_ and faded-out. TV-Journalist:

**10.** **Train Crash.**

As overcrossing an Estuary bridge unnoticed perhaps by anyone-else in the carriage. _Uncared_ if-noticed-or-not by anyone _else_ at-all. Except now each by the in- _Thrall_. Both likewise momentarily inadvertently, and actually advertorial making eye-contact: _flash_ -framed each-other, and through the shared-window as in bright-rainbow and blue sky-coloured mirror imaged as through each of-themselves.

Each Other enraptured recklessly, perhaps, or to be wrecked. As if replicated, refreshing... _relishing_ as then focused-away both to the outside-world as indifferently, similarly, un-differently, perhaps; yet _in-evitably always_ differently.

The-Clerk asking now:

'So. How did 'We' get into this _mess_?'

'What mess? This cycle of indebtedness again?'

'This dis- _array_!' into the screen:

'This _little_ -Turbulence...' the-Banker perhaps unexpectedly uncompromising in response, to the-Clerks' questioning, reckoning:

'Wrecking-Ball!!' _banging both_ _closed_ _fists_ _together_.

Recovering, The-Banker:

'There is a market-situation known as Demand and Supply.'

'Where if a company doesn't have enough shares in stock to distribute and sell.'

'Then this increases the price for these as a result:'

'This is known as a Bull-Market...'

'And this is what we have?'

From apparently outside the carriage, momentarily looked blankly, thought and spoke, the-Banker through the glass:

'If you like. The _reverse_ -situation...'

Looking away, and then back:

'What? Supply _..._ then Demand?'

'Give and Take.'

'Take, then give.'

Not getting the reverse-irony from the pen-ultimately: simultaneously auto: _closing_...

The-Banker held onto the newspaper, brief-cased opened screen. Sat back, where had been leaning-forward in some kind of _reverie_. Looked-over and stared the-Clerk directly in the eyes and between and around the other less-experienced in the ways of the world. Shiny-suited silver-grey not-dull- _charcoal_.

The Banker: a sharp-suited dull charcoal-grey power-dresser almost unnoticed rotund in-parts, like a tailors' dummy sharp-suited, three-dimensional 4G strung-out as a puppet _as to the Invisible-Puppeteer_.

The-Banker taken a-back.

Beneath-what were actually Gold-Gilt Bold CAPITAL-type caption-topping, and a clearly no longer tumultuous Stock-Market re-called.

The-Banker gradually and all too quickly, and suddenly and readily now recalling: implicitly getting-now, the pitiful irony of the newspaper headline:

WORLD MARKETS IN TURMOIL!

and the photograph below.

Taken, without permission, who would be- _have asked_? For: _permission_?

To the-Banker, now again, forcibly revealed, for the first-time, by the-Clerk, perhaps, _notoriously_ , not only into short-term memory but now also into open-consciousness sight as of vision:

< _Access Denied_...

'As of this morning...'

'Has already happened.'

'What's done is done.'

'IT is what it is.'

'The Worlds' Markets' un- _doing_...'

'Is what IT is.'

Awakening as in a pent-up fury raging, invoked from the vestiges of the evening-prior:

'A phoenix, to rise out of the _ashes_...' speech-bubbled, spoken out loud?

_Trimmed-wing's_ is, what the-Clerk thought:

'Business-as-usual?'

Both looking out of the still moving-window:

'Business-as-usual. There is to be a Declaration this morning.'

'By midday...'

'InterNational Meantime...'

'This-will stabilise the-markets...'

'At some-lower-rate....'

'Others' automatically-Higher?'

'And, and that is the-thing! What 'We' will do is simply re-align currencies....' the-Clerk interrupted as if boring into the brain of the other.

As if to satisfy some lust, or inbuilt hidden hatred unavoidable, as both, even as an _idle_ -interlocutor:

''We'? Same-thing 50/50?'

'Or at another relatively higher-point?'

'Lesser? Or more?'

'You got it!'

'No, you got it!'

'And start all-over again...'

'At: _some_ lower-point?'

'You give me the-nod on prices of one thing and another and I will do the rest, get me? Now then, those debts, who they with?'

' _Errr_ , you?"

'O.K. Right here, right now' _as issuing some oratory declarative. Without clue of real-implication_ :

'Known?'

'Collateral-damage?'

'Un- _intentional_ consequences...'

'Like unusually honest politicians yet unaware of their truth...'

'Only that made up by themselves:

'If there were such a thing...as _honesty_.' _ready_ to be barracked.

Self-deprecating and yet, as anyone appreciating of themselves, deceiving of-themselves. Implied depreciation of the-other. With the opportunity presented, as an explanation of the rise to glorification; yet also, thereby pre-emptive fall from grace: albeit: temporarily:

'As in current circumstances as _currency-account_...' _as simplicity 'It'self and with which 'It', would all be resolved today_ :

'Lawyer-Banker: Politician?'

'F(a)m(i)l(y) Business-Banker?'

'Free-Trader Independent (F-T I) of course!'

'The warnings given? Taken?'

'Too-late. For that.'

'Warnings unheeded?'

'Unstoppable!'

'After the event...'

'...and hold _that_ Front-Page!' that nevertheless now could only now be seen from the-Clerks' supposed, and _likely derisive, and probably gloating, satirical perspective_.

On the side screen-panels rapidly absorbed concerning the latest sports and business-media Celebrity-Star: photo of stage and screen, religiously-inoculated to:

'Again!' exploded, in flames.

11. Re-gulation.

New: regulation. Secular Nation-State: Development-Funding Investment Corporate and Government Tax Profit to: President. Prime-Ministers and Parliament Council, and Judiciary, absented.

The Chief of Military Staff (CMS) stood-up and shot a look around the room like he had sprayed the room and all the people in it with machine gun fire. As the others in the room rocked back in their seats around the circular table designed such that were all to be designated equals the Chief of Police the President the Secretaries and grey suited Administrators slumped forward.

As if blood were spouting from their bloodshot eye-balls they paid little attention to what the head of the Military was telling them stun-gunned in their seats:

'We have got to make a move.'

and sat down.

Hands and arms across the table reaching out he banged the table:

'You!' looking at each momentarily as he aimed his sight on the President.

'You. President. You have got to move decisively. We await your orders. Do we shoot blanks or live bullets? Do we sniper-out a few to scare off the rest? Or do we just hold back return to barracks and let the Civilian-Police deal with this?'

'What?! Military-Police: deal with any offenders: Why are You asking?'

The stare moved the aimed attack onto the Chief of Military Police Army (CMP-Army).

'This is not Popular Uprising anymore it is a Traitorous Conspiracy backed by Foreign Enemies!'

' _No.'_ Riots and stampedes to loot, not-anymore! The People love Me! Where are the: Presidential: Security-Police?! Military capability has to act and be seen to act! The crowd are starting to turn police tactics are starting to turn the crowd that they don't care. They are each attacking each and together like they don't care? Well, _that_ is alright, then? They, either don't care if they get killed or maimed. But they haven't got the guts for it...

'The Demonstrators and the Police. Who is going to Win?'

Looking around the Table as if firing darts from the _eyes_ :

'If the Police move back the-Army will move in. My Army! Security-Forces...'We' will move in.'

'We are trying to defend the Barracks from _all-out assault_ from the Walls...'

''We' will take the outskirts. The roads in, and We Will! Move-in so they will not know what has hit them! Once the Police and Army-Snipers have withdrawn only _rebel_ -civilians left...We will bomb the traitors...re-maining.'

'All out assault on every house every alley every cupboard with artillery with tanks and finally with overwhelming force!'

'We await your decision. Your Orders...'

The Police Chief was half standing. By this point it was not clear if he had answered his own question or sealed his fate as Chief of Police. The Military Chief stood and answered for him anyway:

'The Army Air-force and Navy off of the coast are prepared to move-in at a moments' notice. Stop this thing before it starts. Before _they_ start to get the upper hand.'

The President turned to each and then each to their Staff-secretaries and Public spokespersons and translators interpreters although this was to be taken by others media those gathered later in the Press Room: snowflake millennials video music game-bingers:

The President spoke clearly:

'Well? What do _you_ think _I_ should _do_?'

No-one knew whether the President had spoken out loud by mistake and did not realise and muttered his thoughts out loud. The question to _someone?_ who was not in the room?

Unless this was the president addressing:

The President: the Presidential-Address: although un-typical un-less purely rhetorical, extended and tautologously: so at that:

'Well? You!'

turning to the Chief who had just spoken-out:

'You have told me that 'They!' The Rats. The Rebels. The Enemy. Could be getting the upper-hand! That you could unleash an attack but haven't done so! Why Not?!. Are 'They' getting-Closer? They will not get any further!! Do I have to make all the decisions around here! You?!' pointing to anothers':

'Brother-in-Law! Why have you not unleashed your Storm-Troopers! Your Crack Regiments! You tell me?! Why Not!'

'But I...'

All faces staring at The Presidential Face; quivering in rage or dread panic was not clear.

Wavering even only a bow and arrow of a stare off into the distance.

Compared to the rat-ta-tat-tat of the Head of the Military and the Presidents own addresses long drawn out repetitive _echo-laic almost endlessly_ :

'You haven't done Nothing! Useless! I could have you shot even now! Get out! Scamper off to the jungle! the Desert-deserter that is what you will be known as! The Desert-Deserter. Now! Out!'

Not the first time.

The 'Brutal' Brother-in-Law taken-in...taken-out...had been _banished._

'Cut-into...or Cut-Out!!'

Like the 'Banished- Brother' although he was dead, so they said.

#The Head of the Police seized the chance and with not a moments pause-interrupted the gap following-on the last-words-of-the-President:

'Very well the Police will withdraw once they have contained the crowd the demonstrators the Rebels...' and paused:

'The Enemy! Is! Everyone!'

and stopped for a moment to allow the word to enter into the lexicon; meaning the people the People of the Nation State: the Theocracy: the Democratic-secular: whatever it was on, whatever day. The enemy within; minority yes a minority that can be beaten and can killed and maimed...

'Army. On My Command!'

The Chief of The Army immediately took-over:

'The Military will move in and immediately shell the-centre where the demonstrators are from -air and –sea...'

Glancing-quickly at the Chief-of-the-Air-force and the Navy:

'Once the streets into the centre are clear of demonstrators and rebels troops and deserters; defending populations. The Army are currently checking all those leaving The City:'

'For Traitors, Deserters...'

Halting slightly then:

'Genocide as I said. Don't leave one standing or bleeding-on-the-ground.'

'Not a good-idea given the amount of media sky-shots as well finding...'

'Mass-Graves?'

'No don't want that. Take-them-out few at a time. Make it look like a street-fight. O.K.?'

'Qh? War, now?'

-The Army will move-in street by street and take-The-Courthouse and the –Palace-barracks...de-codif(y)(ing)(ed):

The ambulance edged through the crowds to collect the injured who were shocked and dazed at the demonstrations and meetings that had turned into and were perhaps meant to have been confrontation.

But things were changing. Now and with purpose it seemed.

The crowds had dispersed and she could maneuver the vehicle more easily through the streets. To where a small group stood around someone waiting to be treated and taken to the hospital. Only a slight cut. No more serious injury than any normal day.

People talking instead of fighting. Replacing anger with resolve.

Demonstrations and meetings had dispersed. To take over workplaces public buildings homes and streets and buildings now made public. Initial Public Offer: Profile of Business and Personalities currently in-charge. Or Not.

No longer waiting continuing in hope and determination.

There was still a tension in streets where the ambulance now moved more easily through the city centre. A few people and vehicles only now remained and windows sat broken in blank buildings:

In village squares industrial estates and farm buildings. Outside factory gates and on office steps. Market streets and street corners at police stations and army barracks. In places police and troops encircled the television and radio stations and broadcasts ceased.

Except from unofficial official pirate stations; those quickly set up and those already in existence. The Centre-ground largely unreported of no foreign interest to report

Missiles Missives coming in and out.

Taser taster gas canisters bricks and bottles of urine of poison gas; and upraised voices echoed on the buildings and on through crowded side streets. Looting mobs ransacked expensive shops along tree-lined avenues.

Windows crashed-in and people ran arms full dragging pulling at objects from inside others inside throwing stuff out. Clothes furniture electrical equipment out onto the street; where it was picked up and carried hurriedly away.

Crowds ran and defended themselves. Facing police and military vehicles and lines of troops hostility at first was lost in panic that soon turned to:

'What are we going to do?' repeated in city town and country.

Poor neighbourhood buildings burning people inside. Media bias inevitably misreporting the whole misrepresenting the part. Representing ourselves each of us! and straight lies and damn lies and statistics:N/n...

'The only way to control people is to lie to them?!'

Managing problems...dealing with the issues...

Shared-narrative...

People carried on working. Essential services were maintained. Shops were opened factories transport started running as before.

People stayed home people stayed at their workplaces. Carried on as usual and as the news of the collapse came over T.V. and radio and passed by word of mouth in the late afternoon people joined spontaneous and organised gatherings at workplaces streets town centres.

Communications energy supplies stocks of goods transport and emergency services were maintained throughout people organised and waiting.

Politicians had made limited proposals. The police and army had left police stations and barracks moved in to break up organised and spontaneous demonstrations demanding at first the resignation of the politicians; then by the evening for people to take over anyway.

As the police and army had moved in the demonstrations moved in to occupy workplaces shops homes streets. The looting and the shooting had been stopped. By groups of shop-workers who occupied their shops factory and office workers who occupied their factories and offices people who occupied their homes and streets; everybody waited. Essential and public services were maintained for the duration.

Police and army looked on.

The politicians proposals were made public. Presented to a news-crew outside the government buildings and then to a member of the public surrounding the government buildings to announce publicly by television radio announced at meetings at factory gates and office doors streets homes and shops people met.

The politicians proposals were rejected. The call now was for people to take over anyway. The Generals had been meeting the Politicians who had been meeting the Police Chiefs.

Later in the afternoon generals and chiefs of staffs of the army and police defeated deserted and broadcasting from various places around the countries of the world not shot at but more often shooting at each other attempting to regroup; to pull together entities nations or industries resources and communications. Announced on television and radio:

We will not shoot civilians unless we are shot at.

Any shooting of police or army personnel will be summarily dealt with.

As well as any shooting by members of the police or army of any unarmed civilian. Unless they are in and providing material or any other support to the opposition in the Conflict Zones or elsewhere. All weapons are to be handed in.

Only needing what-is-it? Up to 100 activists say 10% most hardcore so that leaves 90% each one a hundred sympathizers.

Curfew is imposed - from 17.00 hours. Anyone on the streets past that time may expect to be arrested and if showing any resistance summarily shot. You have been warned. We are here to protect life not to take life.

Ration books will be distributed as soon as possible.

Until then all goods are requisitioned by the government and Armed Forces. As meeting after meeting denounced Martial Law and Government Control of Trade and Economic Affairs.

The stock-markets redundant; the money-markets gone just-so the T.V. and radio stations had been retaken by-those who worked there.

The viewing and listening public broadcasts no longer government censored and live from cities all over the world where there were stock-exchanges that stood deserted paralysed in indecision and a lost-cause.

From the countries and countryside around people were being interviewed and giving their views one quote put to a television camera broadcast on radio and printed in the newspaper and on-line press said read-out:

... we are returning to put expertise to work.

We are returning to homes and workplaces.

Not a- _waiting_ for the announcements of governments the stock-exchanges the Police or Army.

But to carry-on by our own interests. Our own investments in home family livelihood each-other..!

Barricades held. So did arguments for peace and activity. People began to feel in control of the situation. There was a feeling in the air that things were changing that life would go on and that things would be different. In villages and towns people met and discussed. Shouted optimism and whispered worry; wondrous mystery or secret hope replacing fatalistic rumour.

And people in the meantime took over anyway.

People no longer waited to see what the politicians police and armies would do. People occupied factories offices shops streets. The police and army those that had not already laid down arms and uniforms had attempted to take over the government buildings now deserted.

Had attempted to occupy the television and radio studios factories shops offices homes and streets that were now being taken over by the people that used them and by the people who worked in them. People moving around and remaining in and returning to their workplaces their homes and streets.

The Operations-room overlooking studio- lights ablaze on the many panels jutting half-into-the-room; hospital switch-board the other half-occupied by Media-types. All checking-systems trying to get them up and running again keep them from jumping picture or crackly sound-lines.

There had been outbreaks of violence hired thugs water cannon and firearms weapons-dump attacked by air raided and armed; with deserters. Switching-sides confirmed not-as-agents and the defense of border-towns; down the hills and along the rows where refugees gathered camps where they fed watered and well-being administered to.

They shook with fear shook hands held hands and held palms and thumbs held upward and let go punched the air and let go.

Then: the Azimuth Hotel and bar restaurant where the last President was killed.

'Take the Hotel. Take the Journalists out. Fly-them out of the country no fore-fights on the tarmac like last-time nothing on the runway on the concrete may be fell over? Eh? Then the lot out out-of-here!'

Another long pause not-looking-at-any one or either:

'President. The-President. Will be taken to safety. Out of the city. In-fact out-of-the country. There will be a nice seaside resort that will take-you-in and not return.'

The President- _shuddered_ and felt grief with something of relief. It sounded-like a hail of machine-gun bullets but never-the-less...it would be a permanent _holiday_ that is all:

'With you and your family safely away we will be able to finish-it-quickly. _None_ of your people your-people _will be killed_.'

'But there-are –enemies- _within!_ Write that down!' to an aimless Administrator in the corner. The President was moved truly moved. Looked away and silently _wept_ thinking how close it had come to execution. Whether by the-military the-police? Who had been ordered so many times in the past many years had colluded and committed terrible crimes against humanity; known about of-course!

Enjoyed hearing-about ordered directly and with delight art the ordering and the outcome. Safe-once-again saved; but by the mob outside the Palace the Courthouse where the Judges and Magistrates had left the doors-wide-open and taken-by: the-Mob: with-ease.

The new-old-law was not going to be made by lawyers politicians or economists.

But by doctors and nurses and carers and cared-for; who valued and were overseen even in their work by moral-humanity.

The President could-see-that-now.

Know that-there-would-be no-Justice without-law.

The Head of the Military concluded thus to-The-President:

'You will announce you are handing command and control to the Head of the Military...then we will take you and your family. Not your ministers. They are _on their own_...Hostage to Fortune(s): _perhaps_ With-Us; or: without.' Of-the-country escaped to; or-not. _Constant competition_ the President thought.

Get it wrong every single time this has happened; or nearly if we had not done away with this-lot or that-lot...Who to believe!

'You will be taken out of the country.

A second time the President choked back tears heard:

'Your ministers will have to take their chances.'

Glancing at the Chief of Police:

'With your Fortunes...'

'They are either with us or against us...' the Head of the Military said.

Not clear if this was directed to the President Chief or the millions or was it mere hundreds barely a few or even one thousand left outside awaiting announcement promised and rounded up to attend: The Final Lecture:

'The Police will return to their Civil-Duties in the name of the Government. Military Rule: will be in-stated, with immediate effect.'

The Police Chief looked relieved not almost but not actually: _thinking_ : _at best, I would follow orders. Then retire pension abroad maybe somewhere pleasant nice._ The President stood to meet the Military-Head full-face and eyeball-to-eyeball as if finishing a sentence, that had not yet been started.

'But what the chances?'

'...then, we will leave immediately!' and The President headed-out-of-the-door:

'I will be _excused_ if I leave immediately...' and headed out-of-the-door. The President taken out into the corridor down steps into a basement and without ceremony or-warning shot. In-the-front-of-the-head.

Blood splattered the walls and the uniform of the executioner taken-away. The Head of the Military thought: _...the people will not excuse you._ And the Police Chief thought the same. Both adding:

' _Or 'Me''_.

The police fire and army-ambulance and fire crews remained mobilised throughout the day.

Where the Leader of the Nation was and claimed to the People they were staying, or were _rumoured_ to be staying.

Not seen since earlier that day when an slightly bizarre very bizarre interview to the world press took place. It had been unclear if the clearly dazed and uncertain sun-glazed wobbling slightly leader shaded from the truth had actually said anything in answer to a question; or just mumbled groaned even.

On TV the President see taken-out of the airport-named-after and-by and-of and as named ordered paid-for.

Stepping on the soil...

The concrete or another City or Town somewhere-else; greeted by the fawning members of that countries aristocracy attraction, and protection:

**Elite: Establishment** : darkest or lightest-skinned, and larger horizontally, yet, taller and faster: _announcing_ while laying-dead in the basement of the Court-House.

In contrast to the precious hours long amphetamine-driven crazed-speeches that no-one except: The blindly-Loyal because they had listened to and recognized from before; or took-any-notice-of, and were better-off, for a while. In themselves, but only as-'us'.

Though they were seen leaving: The City:for: Exile.

The-Presidents' last-words before not being seen again and mysteriously or not dying abroad; some years later apparently in hospital in a friendly country were rumoured to be.

'You are to find-and-capture anyone who is not with me kill them!'

'The Rebel Leader General Future President; alive or dead!'

The Leader had assumed the love of the people as a father and mother as grandparents the traditions of the ancestors. Not to be brushed aside. He people biting the hand that feeds them being tricked and provoked misleading and dangerous...

Traitors-to:-The-Cause!

Me! Everytime: The Leaders only Personal: Family-Children: cause; that-is and could or could not-be-understood.

On TV the Glorious Leader stepped from a helicopter in another country a friendly country. Not like all-the-Others; at least not now and unless invited.

Not necessarily friendly either.

Not this-president and no-more another from living a life of Terror.!

The television channels were instructed 'To allow time for...'

A Communiqué to be set-out at the hurriedly convened and over-taken International Conference.

Networked and linking those players who could not jet or drive to Geneva; to be announced simultaneously around the world. Then for statements and addresses from leading members of the Conference to be broadcast to each country in their own _language._

Setting out what these decisions would mean for each country to stabilise National Economies and The Global Economy; the political economic and thus serious situation would need to be shifted.

Moved-into something more controllable.

Something legal that would not get out of their control.

The International Conference of Government Leaders and World Banks met.

The final session that morning had opened thus:

'We have been meeting together since early this morning to discuss the crisis in world-trading, again.'

'It is proposed to ratify the decisions made and announce them forthwith. To allay fears and panic. Are there any abstentions?'

Some countries criticised others for closing exchanges or for keeping them open; for closing banks or for calling in gold reserves. Each had a criticism of another and each attempted to lay blame elsewhere.

Yet it was clear that these governments were as much wrapped up in the Stock-market Chaos and Turmoil; as anyone and everything else. Nothing could be gained by not-reaching-agreement; or at least holding-situation whilst agreement by choice or by force could be reached.

News reports interviews and discussion were vetted and edited more so than usual by government representatives. The television channels were to broadcast the communiqué then the heads of governments statements. The Communiqué was sent to translators and typists and clerks and was ready to be announced at noon mean-time:

As from noon mean-time today all currency transactions are frozen and are to be renegotiated under the following terms:

Prices of raw materials and staple produce will be fixed-at-a-percentage-increase over incomes. Incomes will be fixed accordingly. Most loans will be rescheduled over longer periods. All currencies and share prices will be re-valued accordingly at a lower level a standard base from which trading can recommence.

From noon mean-time Today: Time/Date/Location:

All trading of goods and production of supplies will be directed through the financial institutions and Stock; The Global-Market. According to these agreed adjustments; and according to each governments instructions and direction.

These measures are necessary due to circumstances that now prevail since the collapse of world trading in the stock-markets; and to restore Confidence to Global-Markets and to Global-Trading.

Finally in fact a stalemate reached with the pawns in increasingly geometric and numerical size overwhelming The Kings and Queens Bishops and Knights Castles and Palaces overrun; the chequered board with no moves left.

At the square limbs hung-off at bizarre angles blood shit and piss streaked the streets.

Where the bodies of the dead and injured had been dragged away. Blood-ran down the gutters and only The Rats moved; amongst empty building overrun.

Murdering as they went. Uniforms in purple stains and black burned men and boys girls and women strewn askew tortured raped and killed.

Until it was apparent that the Credit due to the People was un-paid.

In paid and un-paid taxes. In each and every tax area. To the Village and un-taxed Nomads. Gypsies and Travelers.

Working as we went, and go.

People, soldiers and police returned to stations and homes. Ignored the Call to Arms. Ignored statement except to demand: We are using indiscriminate use of force with water-cannon and rubber-bullets sniper and live rounds. Targets pointed out by informers in the crowd; or random to scare ultimate scare tactics.

As if we have not been used to these down the years.

They do not scare us anymore. We don't scare them.

The crowds, if they are working in the day, if they are working at all; they will come out at night to demonstrate you can be sure!

We learn to forgive and forget so that we did not repeat the same errors, we expectorated were expectant, we did, we made do.

Each to our own business, with others: We have taken over our work-places and are working normally...

Well not normally I wouldn't like it to be like this all the time!

'My younger brother was killed in pursuit of a-Dream! This is ritual-sacrifice on the altars of power and greed. This is not sacrifice nor is it forfeit...'

'Nor, is it surrender! We are not sacrificers...'

...nor necromancer. We are dancers!

We are people with a desperate desire for change

We cannot go-on without change!

Anyone with a faculty and facility to provide goods and/or service carry-on anyone without work or leisure to the Job-Centre there is plenty to be done!;

I am here waiting for my brother in Victory Parade. Watching The Palace fall. Where he was killed I wait for him here and we go-on together. We were prepared to stay until every one of us was dead and The President. May your iron-stone-statue drag you down to Hell!

Beware the grave you dig for your brother for you may fall in it.

I am not afraid of anyone or anything now! We have lost our fear!

Our sisters and brothers who have fallen will be remembered as saving their families friends and society, from torture, life, and death!

12. The Main Channels.

The main channels began broadcasting the communiqué and government announcements. Most television and radio sets were off or on but ignored as people no longer waited to see what the governments police and armies would do.

As people had evaded or fought advancing troops and lines of police they also stood and talked yelled slogans and entreaties. It had become clear that the governments and stock-markets they served could offer nothing.

Nothing but the confrontation reminiscent of the suffering and violence of previous times. It had become clear that the fighting and banner waving of before was over. The stock-markets could not produce distribute deliver. Pensions pay and even profits could not be paid. The structures the colossi of buildings land technology and people is all that they were worth.

Looted and shared out. Taken-back taken over.

The-supply-chain: the roads the ports the points of entry and exit of goods food and materials and people.

A voice hailed hearty and full to say

So long as dictators rule the political thus necessarily the fiscal financial then we are all in trouble.

Because as long as we have just enough to live on whilst working so hard we do not have time to think or breathe hardly then they stay in power.

We are not going to threaten them except for want of enough or just a bit more that and yes; we take notice of humanitarian needs on the ground that there is a cost-benefit-equation to be made whether in time or materially and between peoples lives.

Slogans quoted: To jaw-jaw is better than to war-war!

It is better to wait for your enemy to attack. Then to attack Them!

Those who are prepared are more likely to vanquish and win for those who attack first without a plan are wild and unlikely to win against superior tactics.

From each as they choose to each as they are chosen.

'No-one is forced to- _borrow_.'

The-Clerk:

'Everyone is totally _de-pendent_ to start with.'

'Of-course! On? The- _Game_?'

' _This_ Game?'

'Need to learn to- _Play_! Live the Life! Investments. Savings. Pensions and Insurances...'

'That: Bad?'

'Is it? Good.'

The-Banker outspoken, reached-out to the-Clerk again, now:

'Borrow-to-lend: that is the way to do it: Investment:'

''We' _borrow on Our-Debt(s):_?'

'To: Lend:'

''We' do the- _tending_...'

The-Clerk knew:

'Buying-Up: spending at _knock-down_ prices, right?'

'Selling-up:'

'The-Price is always right...'

'(I)nvestments are _Hopes_ _and_ _Dreams_. You have Hopes and Dreams, don't you? 'We' all do. don't we?'

A- _hiatus_ , then The-Banker chortling _conceitedly_ self or other deceptively, or not:

''Buy' _or_ 'Sell"?

'What?' glancing-screenward, both _leaning_ -forward across the table and ignoring everyone else in the carriage.

The-Banker, to the-Clerk:

'O.K. One-to-one now...'

The-Banker, and the-Clerk leaned forward _listening_ :

'Nothing _less_ and nothing more from the-point at which the stock-markets, and currencies closed.'

'The money-markets are closed?!'

'Are-closed to-the-point at which they may be open, sooner than we _think_?'

'Could be...re opening...sooner than we think?'

'Now@we speak.'

This time to the-Clerk as rhetorically-intended, answered the-self:

'Of course! Open for Business, right now!'

'Ssh....Alright: Pre-deals being set-up as we speak. Be-ready...'

'But there is a lot more than that?'

'You need to be there. And because in the end it is You the-People...'

'On this Train?'

'That is why I am going in. You know...the-Politics?'

' _The_ Politics?'

'Inter-National: Global-Trade:'

'Re-Gu-Lations?'

''We'. Make it happen.'

' _ShhIT_ happens! Economic. In the end. Every-time...but not _yet_...'

'Then? Yet(i). Take a move on in?'

'Why not?'

'Get in there! That is why I am going in Today! The only reason...'

'Then? The Airport?'

'In-where? On what?' _naturing now_ _,_ _or_ _-_ _nurturing?_ _Plebian? Or non-Plebian? Maturing? Married?_

'Now?'

'Re-turned for personal and Family Gain.'

'For latte later latters...'

'Letters?

'GRrrrr's...get 'it'?'

The-Clerk contemptuous of and contemplating then of some _instant_ _._

But only now felt, _mistrust_ -dealing, in fantasy, and fear...genre: _horror_ :

'What are the _odd_ s?'

'Of what? Not- _even_ s'?'

The _passive_ reflective: _thought_ and _then_ again the-Bankers' anger rising:

Being or Becoming the Stranger," provides us with an astute analysis as of the ways we draw the boundaries between one another. "Culture, physical traits, religion were and are among all precursors of strategies for ascendance and power," Morrison explains

Kendi wants us to see not only that there is nothing wrong with black people but that there is likewise nothing wrong with white people. "There is nothing right or wrong with any racial groups," he writes. This is the bittersweet message hidden in his book: that, in the grand racial drama of America, every group is already doing the best it can. ♦

This article appears in the print edition of the August 19, 2019, issue, with the headline "The Color of Injustice."We can choose to descend into pessimism and apathy, assuming that nothing can be done, and helping to ensure that the worst will happen. Or we can grasp the opportunities that exist — and they do — and pursue them to the extent that we can, thus helping to contribute to a better world," he concluded. "Not a very hard choice."

Each glancing across each to the others' game-player loaded and hand-held computer screen. Each shared numbers and letters; with grammar, spelling and punctuation, on a screen resumed... _automatically_...

'Sure...simply-betting...' _without a hint of irony_...

Then It became obvious, again: walk thru' wallpaper knowing _another_ is in the room:

'Others actually take-the-Hit! The- _risk_! that is 'It'! Not _Our_ -risk...'

'Exactly.'

'Exactly! Like Fuck it Is. The-S _ame_!' _cursing as if on oath._ _Casually-cursing loudly and yet to no-one's apparent alarm or awareness_...

'So. I get all the _toxic_ ones, eh? That is 'It', isn't it? Why would you be asking otherwise? Top-slice or Dice-and-Splice? Slice! You! Having your cake and eating it!'

Others in the carriage, as if choking on cake. Only a series of in-explicable aphorisms and further increasingly confusing-apostrophe and mixed-metaphor unmixed:

'Credit in Crisis...'

'On false-figures!'

'Falsified. O.K.?'

'O.K. So, what is the truth?'

'Large-Number(s)? Count me in! Deal me in! I like IT! Your-hand!'

'My-hand?'

'Your-hand...' bowing, ceremoniously:

'Is yours...'

'Knew You would...'

Sitting back, grinning, _calmly,_ now:

'The-Markets will come through!'

'Will they?' the-Clerk, and the-Banker re-referencing the opening-gambits, and re-opening for-both and incompletely, and in-response and moving-on with:

'So, what do you _make_ of it now?'

'What is to do, now, then? Business as Usual?'

The-Clerk nodding demonstratively earnestly between the folded-up newspaper and lap-top, table-top screen: the-Banker opened-up now. As if the answer lay there, somewhere, somehow between themselves, or elsewhere, out the window. Perhaps. Looking out of the window of the moving-train as if there was actually, never mind actuarially, any one answer at all:

'Not: One-answer, anyway...'

'Perhaps too-many...'

'Perhaps none.'

'No- _issue_ s?'

'No answers, except _that_ which would _happen_ anyway. Dependent. On _where_ you _were_ _who_ with and Who engaged in a conversation- _with_...'

'That is what I was _thinking_...'

Energy-draining _privilege_ -prison. Basic-Income + Leisure-Time.

Unpaid-domestic duties and un-healing work-harder ethic. With nothing more or less to say, or to hear. With a look, with an apparent effrontery, each, that meant there was to be no further contact either way, that there would be no further purpose, to this.

Each now turned away with- _feigned_ annoyance. Distinctly, if slightly less distinguished and so the-Clerk supposed, expecting of no-further-conversation, not giving opportunity any longer of answering, or questioning-back.

Only pointing-out the distrustful plotting conspiratorial _horse_ -trading, prancing dancing-around...virtual insults...to the intelligence. Whatever. Of the-Arcane Mysteries: s _ecret_ or not at all.

_Hidden and not-so_ hidden _one-per cent_ _Society..._ _one per-cent._

_Ten per-cent? So_ _,_ _what?!_ _Ninety-per-cent._ that it was assumed shrewdly, astutely, even eloquently spoken-of.

As each concluded this apparent-interview...that this was meaningless, insincere, and over:

'I only ask once.'

'Only once?

'OK I'll tell You how it is shall I? How it's going to be...' without affirmation and without waiting for one.

Without even knowing if really with any _malice_ aforethought The Clerks' _now_ thought unspoken: _this is bribery and corruption embezzlement and fraud admitted-to_ :

'Day _light_ robbery! Open-mined theft! From The Land!' _with violence in anyone else's book_ :

'Insider Trading spread-bet's on-speculation and risk.'... _to_ _keep thy mouth shut. Keep your job and shut-up or you're out! or you'll never work in the City again! Or anywhere else!_ ' the Clerk finished the- _internal_ dialogue externally:

'...and 'Me'? To take -the-jump when it all goes wrong again?! Eh?! Extend the terms? Go on!'

'Of Office or of the-Debt?'

'Both. You know? I get to be my own remuneration board? Without reference to any share-holders, or even you, as the CEO-President? Because I am the-President!'

'Re-Gal: Presidential- _motives!_ '

'Exactly! Get the News! In Business as in Government as CEO-President, and as President?'

'Of: My-Own National-Bank?'

'Your-Own: Personal-Banker.'

The-Banker retreated, slightly, with the silent, final entreaty to-self, and with eyes looked only now as if repeating some unspoken thought; but not saying or speaking anymore for anyone-else: fore-finger tapping, drumming, wistfully, _blissfully_ unaware...wildly, almost silently to the temple, at the side of the head, as if holding a gun there _as_ _not the best way to shoot someone else_ _..._ _but if a suicide then spraying brains all over the place probably as effective as any other_ _..._ _does not look as if chancing_ _it,_ _and about to be blowing brains-out_ the-Clerk mused.

A Murder. A Murder-scene. A Murderer? Assassin?

Emissary?

Undercover secret-agent, mole... _moleing_...

Staring, blankly, blindly but not in fear, but with consternation, felt, and leaned to the other-side _in-case the others' silent bullet figuratively actually did hit_ _,_ _what appeared now, with actually the final retort, to be the intended target_ :

'Aimed! Fired!'

'Dodged!'

'Dodge-City...eh?' in slow motion...out of the way. The-Clerks' _duelist_ finger- _pointed now hitting the opposite target from below and straight upper-cut fisted and as a smack-on-the-jaw_ _:_

'Warning?'

The other coming-around and straight-between-the-eyes:

'Worming our way...' _into_ _-the-brain, the nose-bone clean, clear hit through the silver-bullet black print a spray of bloodied ruby red stained_ _..._

The-Banker: _quivered_ slightly behind the-newspaper or rather, above, and beyond:

The-Screen and _not going to say anything_ as The-Clerk realised- _this_ and as once intended-to, closed with:

'Well, this is it...'

'What?'

'I am in-it! Up to Here!!'with a hand passed over the scalp:

'With your _so-called_ scalping-advice!'

The-Banker could not help but retreat then to peer out from behind the newly-drawn newspaper withdrawn behind:

'For: Social-Wealth and Premiere 1st Class Railway-Carriage! Value-added! For You!'

'Nevermind. Private- _Reasons...'_ alone: to-be prepared always, religious song and military beats if-nothing else.

Digitally marching abroad for the prevention of _unprepared-for attack_ -paranoia at Home: for that which could _actually_ happen, and not only be, over-exaggeration:

'Pay!'

'At the very least...'

The-Banker said:

'With the Arrow of Extrication...'

'Extinction Re-bell(ion)?'

The-Clerk:

'You don't Get it? Do You?'

Silence.

'The-Game?'

More silence, then:

'Toxic-lending buying and selling-on a dupe! And that is Me! Isn't 'It!'! This is how I will know what IT is and this is what I will make of IT!'

More-silence, and other _noise_ :

'I am that Dupe, aren't I? Or to-be so?!' the one hand, and now other-hand now _cutting-upwards slicing the across the throat, cut swiftly_ :

_'Tunnel-of-Love@m_ oving forward...'

' _In-breeding Oblivion_ _!_ ' the final dramatic riposte from the-Clerk, in the ungainly sully.

The-Other seemingly _oblivious_.

Un-moving, as anyone else on the-Train moving with the train alone in their own-Worlds words woodcut, as on paper, pixels and spoken outloud:

'Today. I am likely to be shredding documents and deleting emails for You, or someone like You!' seen _photographed_ _filmed_ _buried and book_ _-_ _burned filing cabinet_ _snail and_ _e-mail_ _:_

'To hide the evidence!'

'Burn-IT! De-lete!'

'What?'

Walled-in. Squared, and encircling:

'Wondering how to pay off: My Towering-Debts!'

'To WHO?!'

'Big-Pharma!'

'Not: Government...'

'In-sured sued and pensioned off:'

Met, with a wall of _silent pie-eyed thought_ buffering...

Then. The-Banker leaned-back and glanced-out of the window, remarking:

'To whom. You are wondering how to pay-off your Towering Inferno until I came along?'

A crash of dinner-plates and breakfast bowls and tea-cups...

'The-Banks! The Shops...The Government! Our Government! Tax admission? My Government!' _the action around the middle-finger_ :

'The Bailiff-Police in-hand? Army-Debts? Social Workers?'

'My Government!'

'Our Government! And, Yes! Our Government! _Ours!_ IT is _Our_ -Country...while we are here. The-Army? Another Army? While 'We' are Here! A Simple-Majority?'

'The-Elite. An even simpler-minority!'

'The-Prize goes to 'the- _smart_ est One.'

'Or Two...'

'In the Room.'

Pointing back and forth, both:

'On _this_ Train.'

The-Clerk _correcting_. Only then, the obvious:

'Living our-lived-out lives on-an A Train?'

'Stuck on the rails? In _its'_ tracks... _e_ ventually. For what?'

'The next stop.'

'Last stop? The next Shop! The Big-one, isn't it?'

9. The City State.

People coming into The City and Towns, and even Village-centre(s); gathered, or emptied, travelling-out, and in on MotorBike and Car. Coach and Container-Lorr(y)ies: like a crime scene, they were made out to be:

-Nationalist-Elite Exit: Security: Re-Main: Presidential-Monarchial Famil(y)ie(s): Union: The Demonstrators, and the Security Forces.

Outside, and inside CCTV cameras reached the Boardrooms and Bedrooms' Bathrooms leaking e-mails: toxic enough, high-level: Puts and Calls being put-in drop placed dropped/rose:

-On Present-Index: texting _sexting_... _un-moving_ _..._

Analysis-Scenario-1:

News Broadcast:

'We all seem to be holding: Our Collective breath; and await further announcement. People arrived to work to join the meetings and demonstrations that were already gathering in great numbers at workplaces, town-square piazza and villages streets, roads in and out of: City Centre(s):'

'As The Whole World Protests in City and Town-Square...what do you make of it?'

'On-line and in front of your TV Stations:' The President's Face appeared.

It was difficult to tell if at the beginning or end or an almost endless sounding speech, _perhaps on loop_ _:_ The President looked drawn, but was:

'Adamant no-changes would be-made'.

After the _previous_ -offer re-fused: of limited change had been ignored and _the speech went on and on round and round_.

Reports and interviews, speeches, and the chants of gathering crowds.

The claims of Government-Officials, Politicians and Market Ex-perts at Home and Abroad. Supplanted by de-clarations from people on: The-Ground. From Workplace Meetings and City Centre _Assemblies_ and from World-Wide Web (i)(m)-bed:

InterNet and TeleVision NetWorks: ESport: ( _i_ )n some places there was the sound of Police and Ambulance and Fire sirens and the rumble of tanks and of truncheons beating on protective shields.

On the TV screen. On the rapidly re-booted: snarling-Smart: Cell-Phone: _add-on_ screen: the picture _froze_ contact-book emptied: Error message 303: _Invalid connection_ _..._ _connection_ _closed_ _..._

'They were...'

'You were...'

'Drunk on 'success'!'

'Whatever that is!'

'Not happiness?'

'Or sorrow?'

'Success breeds success'

'Other-Success breeds money!'

'Other-Sorrow breeds Money!'

'Money breeds more-money.'

'Money breeds Greed'

'Greed breeds success...' or abject failure:

'Not. More success than happiness?'

'Happiness more than success?'

'More equal?'

'Ecology? Whenever is enough not enough, eh?'

'What if 'We' lose?'

'The process may not be perfect...'

'But 'It' is still 'adequate' under the exceptional circumstances of the day?'

''We' already, eh?'

'We are all inter-dependent...'

'You speak for yourself!'

'I do!'

''It is like a pyramid, at the top...by: Conquest: Conquistador: Constant-Conquest!'

'Matador! Kills the helpless Bull!'

'Tortured and killed, for dinner!'

'Create wealth...Easy! Capital! What chance does the Bull have?'

'Or the Bear, baited?

'Every chance.'

'No chance.' '

'Only One Dragon-Queen!'

'And pies! More pies!'

'Buyers and Sellers.'

'Presidents and Royalty: born-blood:'

''Fealty' to one or the other. Head of this or that...'

'Only if They can get away with it again!'

'Everyone thinks' they can.'

'The screens and the board will _light_ -up again...'

as: they did. Un- _frozen_ : the electronics at boiling-point:

'Almost:' at the Relative Speed of Light! (RSL!)'

'And the Economic-(i)(n)(t)eraction between People...'

'Now! that is at the-Speed-of-Light!'

'Quantum (Q)!'

'Sold. And: Quality.' at a rate exceeding human vision...

'Or a human beating _heartbeat_ skipped...'

'Zepto. Pepto! Laser!'

'Then it will go Ballistic!'

'As soon as the-Bell goes!'

'Trading... _dusts_ ' itself down..'

'Again! and starts all over...'

'Again!'

' _Feeling_ : The Hunger.'

_salivating_...

Succouring the already done-deal:

'Done deal.'

Feeding now...to see who is holding on... who is selling...and who is buying-back...and who is biting now?

Fired-up, now, and onto the feet, across the floor for everyone else to _see_.

On the screens and boards all-around surround-sound... _vision-statement_ :

'The Whole Global World! (TWGW!)'

The-Banker now awaiting no response from the-Clerk that was _serious_ at-least:

'Product to Market?'

'Consumerism:'

'Consumer-led.'

'Consumer bled.'

'Everything that happens must happen...Naturally! Think about it...the naturalistic fallacy...is 'it's' self, a fallacy! All is _unnatural_?'

'As well as natural. This is both happening naturally and _unnaturally_ _..._ _'_

'Con!'

'Cocted! By each of our senses...'

'Could be something-else?'

'Not-happening?'

'Apparently? Now...then: happened:

'Cost-Price vs Sale-Price.'

'Sale-Price vs Cost-Price?'

'Yet? You see? Human-made!'

'uNNATURAL!'

'Teflon. Everything, including our thoughts and ideas and what we see...'

'Rational-Actor?

'Irrational!'

'So? _Purely_ un-real.'

'Until seen.'

'Then 'It' is too late. Perfectly. Impossible! Nothing is so-Pure!'
