The Home — Mark Miner

In Albany, Oregon, there was a city committee who came up with a plan to stop homelessness. They would build the homeless their own three stories, eighty bedrooms home. Located in the northern part of town, the homeless agreed to never come out during the day and to stay behind locked doors until nightfall. Then they would come out and clean the city while all the residents slept. Only the children of the homeless were allowed out at any time. The city of Albany provided the homeless with electricity, heat, clothes, and food. But there were other agreements, haunted and horrific ones. Walk alongside a little homeless boy as he discovers who he is, what he is expected to become, and the horrors of the agreements that the homeless community and the city had made.
