Since the Layoffs, by Iain Levison, published by Soho Press. Jake, the protagonist in this black comedy works in a factory that makes tractor parts in the midwest. Everyone in the town works there. When the factory shuts down, they all become unemployed. Jake is doing a little work at a convenience store when he is hired to committ a particularly gruesome crime. He does it and does it well and gets paid for it. Then he's hired to committ another crime. Now he's the only person in the town who is gainfully employed. I made the coffee cup label and photographed it, then did the imaging. People in the town go to the Gas 'n' Go for coffee while they try to figure out what's next for them.
