Michael Thomas Bowers Esquire
The life of mike T-50 years and the influence of photography Men, for countless ages have hoped to peer into the void of space of what will soon be, the future. This assignment is just a futile attempt to do that in the life of one individual. Michael Thomas Bowers Esquire is his name ( minus the esquire). The future which is held in the steel cage of unfamiliarity and
uncertainty looms fearlessly in his path. 50 years have passed since his time in high school as a sophomore. he is 66 years of age. The beach is golden white shimmering before him.
his eyes squint as the blinding eastern rays flood them intruding and relentlessly assaulting
his head. "What a night" says he as a massive headache pound within his skull. he looks back into what used to be a livable shelter. torn tattered made of banana leaves and stolen rope his home was broken. he sets out to the beach showers with his shampoo and bars of soap in hand. The children mock him and throw sand that collects in his matted beard and hair. he stumbles toward the showers. "stupid kids" he mutters as he washes himself and cleans his hair. he goes and gets his guitar and sets down do make a days wage. he sings
his heart out playing all that comes to mind. people give generously. some people stare and some even laugh at the bum. he plays on . earning enough to get dinner on the 3 dollar menu at mcdonalds and buy some sheet metal for a more commendable home. he goes
and lays on the beach. and watches the sun begin to set. A young woman with her friends run up to the poor man and giggle and tell her friends "HEY get a picture of me with the bum!". The ragged man obliges and poses with the young woman. Her friend taking the picture stalls "hold on let me turn the flash off". the ragged man becomes tense as he
remembers the lessons his old teacher taught him... "its the squiggly button .... the one that looks like a lil lightning bolt". the woman turns off flash and takes the picture which later surfaces on the internet and mike becomes "That bum guy". People flock from all over the
globe to come see "That Bum Guy" and pay money to take pictures with him and he becomes a global icon!. He represents all that is right with humanity and people love him. countless movies and books are written of "that bum guy". he appears on talk shows and spreads his message of peace and love to the world. He landed a job at the united nations. with his peaceful aid he brings global unity and love for all peoples. he dies a happy and
fulfilled old man at the age of 167.having cured cancer, saved the world from an alien race, and solving world hunger he thought back on the lessons his digipho teacher taught him and bought............... A HOVER BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
