Friday Flash 55 – 99 Percent at Downtown NYC Subway Station
Varying Percentages At Fulton Street Station
Yesterday, cop at the subway by Occupy Wall Street dressed as a hippie. Today, the guy wears plain clothes; i.e. his uniform.
He got two occupiers though, fare-skippers, thoughtful faces hangdog now, betrayed; victory in his stance, scribbling–as he mumbles ‘sorry’–tickets.
Just behind, tourist wedges around the turnstile, card outspent, confused, unseen.
I am telling this 55 word story (minus) title to the G-Man, also to Occupy Wall Streeters who get on the train at the Fulton Street Station, usually with metro cards, but sometimes perhaps without. The station looks abandoned at the bottom entrance; it isn’t.

Ha. I really did feel sorry for the guys he got. There’s a pretty big fine, and they looked very sad.

Thanks. I have a lot of fun with the art. This was a revision of earlier subway painting on iPad —added in the figures! (Ha.) It’s terrible to take short cuts though okay I guess for 55 words.

Sadly surviving at the bottom of the 99% means you can’t get through life without breaking a law or two.
I love your art as much as your stories. Are you on flickr or deviantart?

Thanks so much, Nara–I am not on any other site like that. I started drawing as a bit of a sideline and haven’t had the time to pursue it much, though I do have a little children’s book I illustrated called 1 Mississippi. I will look into those sites. K.

I think I might wander over to The Capitol and see if we still have any occupiers here.
Very interesting 55!! Cool artsy photo.
