A slave, trying desperately to protect the one person he loves above all others, in a brutal system that is weighted against him. A beautiful prostitute who is eagerly awaiting a familiar face. An Indian slum child who dreams of a princess with stars in her hair. An innocent kid trying to make his way in the Wild West. A single day in their lives. ~~~~~ First place winner in the Sass Awards short story category Cover by @stellaarden7All Rights Reserved
