The Top Ten Storyboard

A bit of explanation is necessary

A while back I wrote a piece entitled, “The Top Ten things killing America.” Although the piece was well received, I felt it was important to share each of the issues identified in that piece through fictional accounts, hoping to show you the impact these issues have on life each day, rather than just telling you about the issues.

I created a character, Tom Gibson, and enlisted the talents of Medium’s best writers: those writers each took on one issue, and created a fictional story to show you how that issue impacted Tom and his life.

The wonderful crew that gave life to Tom Gibson is listed here: their stories are what make up this publication.

Please read the incredible work offered, and let each of these gifted writers know how much you enjoy their work.
