The Stain That Won't Wash Away

This is not a story about a hero fighting back. It is about how ordinary people are driven into a corner by life, and how they still hold on to the last scraps of kindness as their boundaries are swallowed up inch by inch, even if that kindness is only a coin, a plastic bag, or a simple “Take care on your way.” The fluorescent lights never go out, and the sky outside the window is always dark. But they are still waiting for tomorrow.

A stark account of life on the margins, laying bare the gray zone where cruelty and compassion intertwine.
