Down but not out...

Next time you start complaining about how "hard" you've got it, think about this one. If you're wise, you'll shut your trap and give thanks for everything you've got. I've worked in sweat shops most of my life; it's dehumanizing work and workers are treated like little more than cogs in a machine. (See my short story, COGS, on our capefearcomics.webs site or on facebook; it's a true recounting of something that happened to me one day in a factory.) As if being paid 68 cents per bra to crank 'em out for Victoria Secret weren't bad enough, the young woman here is also forced to leave her daughter behind in what turns out to quite literally be The Sticks. But she and her husband man up and do what must be done. There's no real happy ending, here- but INTIMIDAD is definitely a Positive.

score 10/10
