Cold Shoulder

You would think that someone who grew up so close to Diet Canada would be used to the cold.

Roman huddled miserably in his mountanous coat near the only bus stop in town that happened to be right outside a small flower shop. This was his first day in town and while he didn't have an excellent profile for the place, he did know how to start out. Honestly, he didn't have to work too hard to look pitiful. Roman was a small guy, always had been. With the big navy coat bundled around him and the scarf covering his goatee, he could easily pass for a child shivering in the first snow of winter.

He had chosen this spot for two reasons--one, he didn't want to walk around and miss the bus. He hadn't learned its schedule yet. And for another, who went to flower shops?

SAPS!

Really. Who the hell went to buy flowers except those with bleeding hearts. With his ass parked outside the glass door and his little cardboard NEED MONEY FOR FOOD GOD BLESS sign clutched in his mittened hands, what could go wrong? A few hours of this, he'd have bus fair. Then he'd get heat and a free tour of the town the rest of the day.
