“Catchpenny” climbs the steps of public transportation with Wilbur, at once wealthy and powerful, at the next underfunded, on the lam, past middle-age, having no marketable skills.

This story reveals hidden knowledge—hidden from some anyway—that a person is innately imbued with—about life: that they have to be resourceful and skilled and compassionate to survive in a world where, although they work hard everyday, they still struggle to make ends meet--but it’s the struggle that makes them real.

One minute we can be moving through life on cruise control, filling the car, keeping up with the bills, feeding the family. The next we can be outsourced, downsized, stricken by disease, injured, besieged by natural disaster. If it happened to us would we be able to bootstrap ourselves back into the black? Know which way to go to swim for the surface when submerged beyond the point of buoyancy? Would we have the strength and durability?

Catchpenny follows Wilbur on just such a journey, read on to discover where and how he finds something to be grateful for in amongst the bottom dwellers, held together by hairspray and gum residue, hanging by a thread, and how his life comes full-circle, in a manner of speaking.
