on the corner of hopelessness and despair page 1 by ric Gustafson
The sun was beating down on Orlando's sweat streaked brow. He looked up and licked his parched lips. " Who needs you". His gnarled hands held tightly onto the small cardboard sign. He watched as car after car drove past him. People stopping at the light on the corner stared at his sign.
" Go ahead do it" yelled a driver as he drove past him.
He picked this corner because of the large number of cars that drove past him.
" Go ahead, kill yourself" yelled a female driver as she drove past him.
After hours in the sun with no one stopping, he was about to do what he had on his sign.
" Thirsty Orlando".
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
