Winters in your small town are harsh. Especially for those who do not have anywhere to go.

You were on your usual late night walk, enjoying the peaceful nights - not that they were that peaceful for everyone...

Turning into a street, you freeze, as a large but beaten down and dirty, scantily covered man sits on the pavement, curled into himself, half frozen to sickness as he looks at you pitifully, a couple pennies lying around - he's homeless.
