Abstract
This creative nonfiction thesis contains four stories written while I was a student in the Master of Fine Arts Program from June 2008 through December 2011. All four represent experimentation with form and are in progress. The theme of a common person faced with uncommon challenges runs through all the stories, which are based on numerous interviews, extensive research of National Labor Relations Board hearing transcripts and findings, civil and circuit court transcripts, government findings, and published ai1icles. Topics include labor fights at Smithfield Foods' Tar Heel slaughtering facility, military sexual trauma, wrongful criminal conviction, and victim misidentification.
