Oops!

So i think i may have made a terrible mistake. I decided to give up my cushy underground parking at work as the building was going to charge an obscene amount of money starting June 1. I only work in that building 4 days a week, so i figured i could use the exercise and try to fight the other 2000 people that work in my area for the 15 free parking spots outside of a homeless shelter on the street. I had my 1st experience the other day, i pulled onto the street noticed a few open spots and thought how wonderful. Then i noticed the 10 cop cars, police tape and CSI type of RV blocking off the remainder of the street. I got out, started to walk to work and asked a man sitting in the grass if someone had passed away. He told me someone had been stabbed to death the evening before. I told him to make sure and take care of himself and went along to work.

I've only parked on this street a few times this week, but it's so sad when i park and when i return. There are all these homeless people milling around, lying on blankets in the grass hanging out like lost souls. Some surely have mental health issues and drug addictions. I watched the news that evening at my friends house to see if they had a name for the deceased, in case he was one of my clients. She told me it was just a vagrant person anyway....i disagreed, he was a human being, someones son, perhaps a father or a brother. He was a person like you or I.
