Seattle was a great place: great music, fun bars, good culture and lots of opportunity. Alex noticed that with opportunity came responsibility—particularly after his own year long brush with homelessness. That was over ten years ago, now, but he carried it with him in his heart.
He made a point once a week to drop by a drop in center he had frequented, dropping off soap, socks and banana bread as he saw fit. Today he had a series of meetings he couldn’t mix, marking the first week he had missed in over a year.
The night was dark and wet, slashing rain with howling wind. The kind of night he had hated when he lived on the streets, knowing he’d have to walk the entire night or bed down in a public bathroom if he wasn’t lucky. When he was homeless he had avoided the camps like crazy for fear of getting busted by the cops, getting his things stolen or having to deal with someone’s insane freak out.
Guilty over not doing anything this week he drove down to the shelter and waited until the lottery list was posted. He picked one of the nervous looking ones remaining, “Hey, I know this sounds creepy… You want to stay at my place tonight? Or I could give you a spare blanket or something.
“What you would go for."
