Chapter Eleven

“It was written by a teacher at Chumley Prep. I think you’ll find chapter eleven to be very enlightening. It’s all about a bandit named Ugly Chuck Willoughby, who led the Hole-in-the-Rocks gang, a group of pirates who plundered flat-boats along the Ohio River in the late 1700s.”

Grateful for something to do, I took the book and began chapter eleven, “The Fight for Existence.”

But just two years later, when the company declared chapter eleven bankruptcy, the taxpayer money was gone and the company, as well as the Obama administration, faced major scrutiny.

At this point Chapter Eleven was granted a view of the room, where all the women now fell silent.
