It was a calm morning, well before you needed to be at the gym for your shift. Working the counter was sometimes too much, but you enjoyed getting to just sit on the calm days and play on your phone.

You walked the streets, headphones in, not really worried about anything. There wasn't a crazy amount of crimes in your neighborhood, so you felt safe enough.

Until you tripped over a foot. You tugged a headphone out and turned to apologize when you saw him. Simon Riley.

Simon was a hero in your area. Military and what have you, but everyone loved him, treated him like he'd built the town. Not anymore, it seemed, as Simon was sleeping under a dingy blanket with nothing but a duffel bag and a German Shepard beside him.

Hometown hero turned homeless. All because no one wanted to help.
