Mike's Wager: Short Story (The Camerons of Tide's Way #3.5)
““I never saw a homeless person until I landed here at Harvard.”
“What? You think Cambridge, Massachusetts has a corner of losers?” His roommate, Troy, asked.
“That’s not what I said,” Mike replied. “I said I never saw anyone living in a box in Tide’s Way. Can’t recall seeing any in Wilmington either, but I suppose there are some.” He took a swig from his bottle and set it back on the table.
On their way down to the bar, Mike and his friends had passed two incredibly filthy men huddl...ed together in the flimsy shelter of an old appliance box set over a grate that vented steam from a laundry room in the basement of an athletic club. Mike saw a well-dressed man kick the side of the box in and tell the homeless men to get a job.
Discussion during the rest of their walk to the bar had rambled over the causes and effects of homelessness. They were still debating the issue when the waiter delivered their drinks.MoreLess
