A reporter asked me how I got off the streets when I was a homeless kid. I said, "I got a job at McDonalds." He blurted, "that& #39;s embarrassing." No, it is not. Hard work is never embarrassing. What is embarrassing is how nowadays that wouldn& #39;t pay the rent.
sorry, not fiction, meant a flash piece.
If you want to read the novel inspired by my experiences as homeless child (Margaret Atwood praised it!) here is a link to one of my favorite indies, @Powells: https://www.powells.com/post/powells-picks-spotlight/powells-picks-spotlight-rene-denfelds-the-butterfly-girl">https://www.powells.com/post/powe...
