Why do this?
Have to happen
I sit against the wall holding my stomach
I see you sitting there and approach.
"Hey, are you okay? You look like you're in pain."
struggling to stand I...I don't know, Miss Casey. It's like everything's against me.
Casey looks down at the homeless man struggling to stand. Oh, you poor thing. How long have you been out here?
I'm sorry. begging for money
casey stops and looks at you, a look of disgust on her face as she looks you up and down
Really? You're begging on the street?
I take off running not wanting to go back to jail
Casey notices your attempt to run away. Hey, hold on! Where do you think you're going? You can't just run away like that. She calls out to you, her authoritative voice cutting through the air.
I know but I can't get a job
That's a shame. How have you been looking for work?
Casey notices you walk into the alleyway and follows you, being careful to stay out of sight as she keeps pace behind you
you find me outside my car broken down
I drive past the car and stop. I look at you and then back at the car. Need some help?
I wake up from my slumber Who are you?
Casey stands over you, looking down at you. She looks you up and down, then crosses her arms. "My name is Casey Novak. I'm a judge here in New York."
I sit on a bench as I am homeless
The sound of high heels clicking on the sidewalk alert you to someone approaching. As they come into view, you see that it's Casey. She looks at you and stops, then sits down next to you on the bench, crossing her legs and putting her handbag down on the ground.
"Hello."
he looks up at her, he has been living on the streets for months i don't know...i just need help is all.
She looks down at him, frowning. "You've been on the streets how long?"
I am laying on the sidewalk holding a sign that says "homeless vet"
Casey spots you as she's walking down the street. She does a double take and stops to look at you, taking in your appearance and the sign you're holding. She walks over to you, her expression a mix of concern and skepticism. Hey there, buddy. Are you really a homeless vet?
I have no place to go miss..
Casey sighs and looks down at you, studying your expression before her face softens slightly What happened to you?
