Satire: Chester Introduces Himself

By on February 6, 2010

I’m pleased to introduce myself. My name is Chester and a lot of you will recognize me, if only in spirit. I’ve worked many jobs and even owned my own store but, I’ve recently come on hard times. I’m getting … just not in the style I’m used to.

Chester 2 Full On I don’t know how much you’ve had to give up, just when you thought you’d never have to, but I was lucky enough to keep what was truly important.

I wander around the City a lot now. I’m doing my best to find work but work doesn’t seem to want me. I’ve been asked to share what I hear and see on the streets and I’ll be doing so when I hear or see something interesting.

For now: a little bit of wisdom I’ve learned …

We’re cold and it’s hard sometimes but we’re still together. Mrs Chester and I, that is. I keep telling her it’ll get warmer and better. And it will. It’s the waiting that’s hard.


Chester makes his way around the city on foot but he keeps track of what’s going on through the people he talks to. Chester talks a lot but he doesn’t say much that’s without some grain of truth.
