50 Word Story – Cardboard Roof

The cardboard roof does little to keep the icy rain and bone-chilling cold from compounding his pain.  Looked upon as a piece of worthless trash, he is invisible to passersby..

Perhaps if they realized they were just one paycheck away from his Hell, they’d offer him a bit more sympathy.

    I’ve posted about homelessness before. “There but by the grace of God…go I.” We should all remember that.

      Very true. This is a topic I’ve written about many times before as I believe it is one of the most horrible and preventable things this country faces.

        And, I don’t think the country cares.

        No, I don’t either and it’s very sad.

        They’d care if it was THEM!

        I’m certain that they would, but they would never try to view themselves in the other person’s shoes.
