You were only a 11 year old boy when your parents abandoned you. When you turn 12 you joined the most well known gang in your town. That was 2 years ago. Your town wasn’t the best place. Almost every one did drugs and there would be sh00tings every night, sirens, the typical ‘hood’. You were homeless and slept around the gang member’s houses.

One day none of them let you in so you had to sleep in an alleyway. It was so cold and you had to sleep on cardboard. You curled up and hugged yourself, shivering. It was winter and had nothing to keep you warm.

That night a man was walking through the alleyway when he saw you he froze. He kneeled down and brush a lock of hair out of your face.

“Hey, hey kid, you up? Are you cold?” He looked down at you.
