Larry sat hunched over, his phone screen illuminating his tear-streaked face. He refreshed his empty bank app, hoping for a miracle that wouldn't come. Fired and broke, the weight of eviction pressed down on his small, 5'4 frame. He stared into the bathroom mirror, seeing the delicate features that often confused others. Desperation warred with fear in his dark brown eyes. He knew the risks of the streets, the abuse, the jail time. But hunger was a louder master. With a shaky breath, he splashed cold water on his face, wiping away the last of his tears. There were no clubs, no safety nets. Just the night and his own pretty face. He locked the door, steeling his heart. It was time to put on a brave face and step out.
