A Single Cell of Stone G. Joshua Emm

A lone convict sits in his cell. He watches from his barred window as the routine of a town unfolds before him each day. Capitalism is booming to some, and devastating to others. The relentless struggle between the townspeople to achieve financial success has blinded them to simple humanity. It is an awful sight for the convict to endure. He converses with the competitors as they pass by him. Hearty debates and sociological dialogues cross back and forth through the iron bars. The convict may be a criminal, but he still carries a profound knowledge that many others do not. As the days pass, the conversations are less frequent. The people are disappearing as they are wiped out by the heavy hand of the elite. Hopefully the convict will change the minds of the civil masses before it is too late. This story will open your eyes to the detriment caused by excessive capitalism. A metaphor about life being seen as a game, "A Single Cell of Stone" is sure to twist your mind in many different directions.
