A Urban Tale by The Chronicles in Hereford

In 'An Urban Tale', An American street girl, bruised and hardened by the downtown urban environment. Crime and violence are rife - hence the criminal with the revolver and the gang graffiti (Kings) Either side of this crushing existence are two all-consuming and oppressive forces endemic in American culture - aggressive militarism and mindless commercialism. The beautiful and exploited young woman survives as best she can within all this mayhem. She consoles herself by spending whatever she is able to earn on body art which, in itself, further identifies her with the heavily graffitied environment - a protective camouflage of sorts.
