Summary: Life on the streets had taught Jensen that everything came with a price. Family was a word that meant the people who kicked you out, religion was nothing more than a free meal, and salvation something that he could buy for ten bucks a hit down on the bad side of town. Scoring had become his full-time job, and finding a safe place to sleep was what he did in his time off. It was only a matter of time until this life caught up with him. Now, strung out and with no where else to go, Jensen finds himself following his feet to a place he never thought he would go--to the home of a stranger who can unfailingly see past Jensen's mistakes, and who can see right through to the good that is still left within him. The challenge is getting Jensen to see it as well.

This was heartbreaking. Just over three years ago I lost my brother to a heroin overdose, and what your Jensen did, was doing, and going through was so real to what we went through with my brother. This hit home.

So sorry to hear about your brother. I too lost a dear friend years and years ago. So yes, a lot of first hand knowledge and frustration went into this story. Cathartic, I suppose, and a chance for a happier ending that we all wish for. Thanks for reading, even though I'm sure it must have been tough. All my best.
