For The Price Of A Locket

It was a bright sunny day – there was no doubt about that. Not that anyone noticed or even cared to notice. Why would they when they were more concerned with surviving until their next meal and fighting like mad, often with nothing more than a splintered stick, for a spot to protect them as they catch a couple of hours of sleep? One day, people may come to realize that if a person is asleep, to let them sleep. Loot and inconvenience them yes, but not murder them, then carry on their merry way. Maybe one day they'll realize that sleep without fearing murder would greatly benefit even this country, where the criminally minded and the perverted outnumber the noble and good by a thousand to one.
