The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter One: Intro

"My name is Desire Brown... I am a single mom living with my son Vincent ... you can imagine being a single mom working two jobs, I hardly have any time to do anything- and with all of my bills piling up I was rehearsing the whole "Santa isn't coming this year" speech to my son ... but I didn't know what to say to him, he was a good boy ..he's always been a good boy ..how am I suppose to tell him ..I just don't have the money for a Christmas this year?" A woman's voice was heard, as the visualization soon showed that of a town, the time was dark and the area was snowing; a young woman came into view hurrying back to her house wearing a dark blue jacket that was buttoned up with a hoodie on over her head mainly concealing many of her facial features but her hair appeared to be a dark brown color and was short.

She was also seen wearing a dark blue pair of jeans and big white winter boots and a brown purse over her shoulder, before she shook her head and quickly approached the front door of an average looking house with a window revealing the inside of it, a lawn that was covered entirely in snow and a fireplace- but this didn't concern the woman who quickly reached into her purse with shaky hands revealing her hands were also covered with white gloves, as she managed to pull out a key and unlock the door entering into it before shaking to herself and screaming.

"B-BRHHH!!" With shivers, before she shook her head as she looked around seeing her living room appeared quite simple; she had a brown looking couch facing an old tv- a doorway leading into what was assumed to be a kitchen and a hallway leading into the bedrooms, on the walls hung many photos of her with a young child who she knew was her son Vincent.

Vincent appeared to be different ages in the photographs, but one thing remained the same- he was white skin with dark black hair and big brown eyes, while he appeared to be smiling in many of the photos along with his mother, she shook her head as she could overhear the sound of a phone ringing causing her to remove the hood from her head, revealing she was white-skinned with brown short curly hair; as she reached into her purse and pulled out a cell phone, answering the call she added.

"Yeah? Janine? urg...I tried the shelter...they were giving away toys, but by the time I got there ..they had given them all away.."

"Did you try all the shelters?.. or any of the gatherings that are giving away some free Christmas stuff?" A woman's voice was heard on the other side of the phone, while Desire shook her head as she approached her couch and sat down on it before she added.

"Yes, Janine ...I tried EVERYWHERE I could think of ...nobody is giving away any toys...come on it's like what?..four days until Christmas...it's likely there isn't going to be any toys..."

"...Sorry...I just want Vincent to have SOMETHING for Christmas you know?" The woman on the other side of the phone stated, as Desire shook her head and added.

"Well...I'm going to have to go pick Vincent up from my mom's in the next couple of hours...then I guess I have to break the news to him that Santa isn't coming this year..."
