"YA HUNGRY MISTER?"

Kindness shown to homeless man.

    ''YA HUNGRY MISTER?''
 

Tension ran high in the large crowd that had formed in front of the Braxton Power Plant. You could feel the anxiety pulsing through the shouted threats and demands of those who feared the new regulations being forced on them because of climate change. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted a home- less man sitting on the sidewalk nearby. His clothes were torn and dirty, as one would expect, and his scruffy little pooch sat close beside him. Just then a nice looking young man...clean cut and wearing the latest Armani attire, came up and handed him a sandwich. ''Ya hungry mister?'' he asked. The old man nodded and smiled a big toothless grin as he reached for his prize. © Sharon Peeples

well told Sharon .. a poignant vignette ... the working stiffs, state of the globe, the poor man and the rich man .. i find it refreshing you gave the rich guy a heart ... they seem to take such a beating from self righteous people of the peoples ;) nice prose piece .. very smooth and surgical says i .. plenty there to create setting scene and characters and only 3 Vs ... nice one!

this is beautiful....paying it forward...helping another...kindness...
not enough of it is shown in today's climate...and i am not talking about the weather.
Armani shows that he knows the homeless man wears a suit of worth...
