King of Nothing

Now

The line goes on endlessly. It feels as if I have been waiting here forever. It shouldn't take that long to get into a shelter. 

I just spend so much time sleeping in places that aren't my own or missing several meals because I don't have enough money. 

I guess I'll have to do what it takes in order to beat everyone for a room at this homeless shelter. 

My knees ache, my stomach growls, I haven't had a shower or brushed my teeth in two weeks. My luck is running thin out here, in order for my punishment to last as long as possible, I must survive. 

It might feel good to have a mattress to sleep on or a a warm bowl of soup to slurp on. 

I will get into this shelter, even if I have to kill someone for it.
