reversal of fortune
fiction
edward w pritchard
What catastrophic event or occurrence could happen in America to make every person lose their money, their position in society and their source of happiness and security? Like the Jews in 1930's
Germany what if the entire population of America suddenly lost the moorings that supported their confidence in their position in society.
Worse than the fear that one will develop the cursed disease of forgetfulness wandering around friendless in a fog or sudden death without burial for Americans is the catastrophic fear that they will lose their wealth and position in their world.
To be an outcast, such as a non believer at a month long religious festival who is the only one without the proper sacred uniform following the centuries old traditions, a prisoner in a cell removed permanently from society or a vagrant standing by the expressway smiling and waving at cars with a beggar's cup in hand is the ultimate curse for an American to endure in our affluent society.
