about this story
In a small town divided by rich and poor, a young adult named Zach drove his old bicycle to work. Desperate for the funds for a car, he could be found working many odd jobs.
Zach had decided to utilize his art skills and his love for architecture by painting houses as his consistent job to make ends meet. He loved the fresh air and the view from the ladder. This particular house had come along nicely, although he had not yet come in contact with the owners, for the butler usually greeted him before leaving him to his work.
On this particular hot day, he noticed that the porch table was set with speared fruits. As he went about his work, he noticed that hours later the fruit was still uneaten. It was a hot day, so Zach figured that maybe this was set out for him. Not wanting to be rude, he decided to eat a couple. As he was eating, the butler walked out. He instantly went red in the face, and scolded Zach for eating something that did not belong to him. "Mr. Farah would not approve of this," he said. That name was familiar to Zach, but in his haste to win the approval of the butler he paid it no mind.
Embarrassed, Zach finished his work and went home. He assumed that Mr. Farrah was the owner, and hoped that he was not so unreasonable. The next morning, he woke up to a phone call from the butler telling him that he was fired. Suddenly it all clicked for Zach - Mr. Farrah had billboards all around town advertising his political campaign, promising fairness to those who voted for him.
In a small town divided by rich and poor, a young adult named Zach decided to apply for a new job. You could now find him shuttling children around at the beginning and end of each school day, in order to make ends meet. As Zach ended his route each day, he would always make a pit stop at the billboard just off the road leading to the school. Unable to use his art skills for his career anymore, he would spray paint another picture on the billboard each day, for the sake of fairness.
