What a tough life you encountered. It is sad to think that there are several people living off the street. It is such a dangerous life. I pray that you did find comfort and that one day you were safe from the unknowns.

Another excellent, well written chapter that I enjoyed reading. What did you steal from the bum? That was a hard life, you were living. You did a great job, and I look forward to the next chapter. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. Shirley

Appreciate the review.
Comment from Ric Myworld
You have that special touch of making me feel what you're writing, which few can. This chapter takes me back to 15-years-old; wet, cold, and tucked in beneath a blue, plastic tarp, hidden behind the Hollywood sign atop Mount Lee in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles. A restricted and heavily patrolled area you'd never get close to these days.
Thanks for sharing.

Kind of like to know more of your history. Know one thing, as glamorous as the HOLLYWOOD sign is found the area behind it almost to be a run-down slum. Bit of a surprise to see that actually because that sign is always portrayed on television as being so glamorous. Appreciate the review.
Comment from Judy Lawless
Your descriptions and imagery are amazing, Brett. I could almost feel the wet ground and the soggy stogie and your stomach churning. The thought of those crusty underwear caused me to shiver. I'm glad you got away from the old man, but now...? Another cliff hanger.

Comment from BethShelby
I'm enjoying the story told from the perspective of a boy escaping a situation he could no longer bear. You were a brave kid to prefer the dangers of what could happen in the night to the security of the home. I wonder how many other kids in that facility felt the same way you did about it.

Hello Brett,
Well done, well written, very descriptive. You had a rough row to hoe to put it mildly. I can't imagine being out on the dangerous streets of Nashville at such a young age, alone, fending for yourself. I'm sorry that it happened at all. It shouldn't happen to anyone.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Appreciate your insights and the review.
Comment from Wendy G
Your writing continues to give insight into the mind, thoughts and attitudes of those who through no fault of their own are on the streets. For a young kid, survival is uppermost in their minds and a dread of going back to a hateful environment.
Well done. Vivid reading.

I can understand why you robbed the old man's armed with something to defend yourself with was probably very desirable, I guess even then, any advantage to survival was highly prized. Poor old guy, the question would be, why was it in his pack, and not on him? Beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy
