On account that I had a bitch of a time piecing this together, particularly when it came to using an FTP program to post my documents onto my SFSU page, please don't expect this to be any good.
Here is the synopsis: You, the protagonist, are a thirty something year old honorably discharged former service member. Inspired by your favorite show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, you decided to become a bounty hunter. You advertise your business by putting those annoying-ass colored fliers on peoples' windshields in crowded parking lots. Days after you advertised at McDonald's, you receive a phone call from the corporate office. Your mission, which you chose to accept, pits you against overwhelming odds. Nobody ever said it would be easy to find a wayward mascot.
This is the tale of your journey, which sucks...

If the NFL won't take him back...
Honestly, the future does not bode well for Michael Vick. In addition to his looming sentence from his federal plea of guilt, he was indicted for violating Virginia state laws last Tuesday. According to MSNBC's website, Vick has been charged with two separate felonies related to dogfighting, which include beating or killing or causing dogs to fight one another and promoting dogfighting. But, I will get into that ordeal another time.
I am curious as to what his future holds, specifically in the employment sense. Hypothetically, lets say the state charges are dropped, Vick is sentenced to serve eighteen months in prison, and successfully completes his incarceration. Upon serving his time, he is released and perhaps rehabilitated. That would be the best case scenario in my mind. But, what is he to do for a job and a means of supporting himself? Would the NFL take him back? Would the public at large ever embrace him again? Has he already burned his bridges? Why am I asking so many questions?
Personally, I think he should consider a new career. After he serves his time and is integrated back into society, I do not know of any rules that would lawfully keep him out of his employer, the NFL. However, I don't see him coming back to the NFL for two reasons: no team would willingly adopt all the scrutiny that is sure to follow him and certainly his skills will diminish during his imprisonment, regardless of the length of his stay. Suffice to say, football is all Vick knows. After all, Vick entered the NFL after only two years at Virginia Tech. What potential life skills could he apply to help gather wages? I sarcastically offer a new means of income for Vick...
You know how some judges creatively think of ironic punishments for certain offenses: i.e. making a drunk driver attend AA meetings or perhaps ordering a convicted litterer to spend countless hours cleaning up debris on the free way? I was thinking along those lines.
