The Bureaucracy

By: R. Siverene Hendrickson

George Eppleworth had dreams. George was just like all of us, wanting to live and not be forgotten. In George's world, though, he became mired in the reality of being a cog in the giant machine of industry.

Love might save them, and desire might destroy them.
