ALL ABOUT PAPER

Do you ever get tired to be looked down upon? Watching people accomplishing their dreams, and you are just there trying. All your efforts don’t seem to work out into something tangible. Something that you can be proud of and say it came out of yourself.

As a kid coming down the pipelines in the Mucus City, I always knew I had to look out for myself. Most of my friends didn’t even make it in life. We were all trying to make a living just like everyone who is out there living the best life.

Slippy and Jack were their names but that goes way back. Slippy comes from Slippery and Jack comes from the word Jackal. I saw how they are hard working for Mr Kredo and they seem to be good at the job that they were doing. But take it from me that crime is no good because most of my friends died others are in jail.

Somehow Slippy and Jack stopped working for Kredo because they wanted their own empire. But they retired on good terms with Kredo.

When I stack that paper, everything is just going to change, we can finally help people who are in need and try to push them to do better in life Those were words from Jack while he was talking to Slippy.
