Under Pressure

Leon seemed so steady and sure, he was like a rock, a foundation. It took a lot to shake him, but even he couldn't endure the prolonged effects of the Great Recession of the early 21st Century.

When the 2nd dip hit, Leon began to slowly crack, the pressure on him building.  And though he did his best, before the end of the third dip, Leon had lost everything... job, house, and wife.

Shortly afterwards, the world lost Leon.
