Hi, my name is Shane.
I am a homeless person. My parents were poor so they went to go steal some food and jewelry but the house they went to go steal from was owned by a policeman. The police caught them and they got locked up for life. So now I am living by myself. I went out in the streets and I found a pet cat. I don’t know what the cat's name is. I’m starting to head back home I always get caught up in the city and now it is taking me a while to get back home. I walk past places and people stare at me and and say look at that hobo and homeless kid its because i'm dirty.
I am staying in a garbage dump and I sleep on newspapers I also have 1 toy it is a Transformer I feel very sad. The cat is sleeping in my jumper while I get home.
I got home safely this time.
It is bedtime for me and the cat.
