Life on Hold

Four months ago, you were "let go" from your position at Corporation, Inc. No steady, well-paying job has come your way since. Your depression hasn't made finding a job any easier. Days seem to speed by as you crawl along, slower and slower. Your therapy eats away at your limited amount of money more than it helps you. Today, your apartment burnt down. With what little posessions you have left, you move out onto the streou et. You're homeless now, but you'll make it.
