It’s been a damn long time but I churned out another flash fiction story for Kenney Mencher’s contest. This one was a submission for the “Oration” contest, which I titled “The Mayor.”
The foundation of the story started in an interesting place. I was looking into the Occupy movement and ran across an article in the SF Chronicle about the 1934 San Francisco General Strike. I’d also been following the SF mayoral election fraud reported in The Epoch Times. I ended up combining these two as a little homage to On The Waterfront, which I saw so many years ago.
