Elderly lady walking down the street

Ethel had been through a lot in her 87 years. She burried 3 husband's and had 7 kids who had a total of 28 grand children and she has 18 great grand children.
Everyday she enjoys walking around her neighborhood seeing the birds, squirrels and bunnies. Occasionally she seen some dogs barking at her behind fences luckily. They usually give her a startle when they first start. She tries calming them by talking sweetly to them. She also enjoys stopping to smell the flowers her neighbors planted.
Today she is wearing her big brim hat to keep the sun off her delicate skin. Her doctor warned her about being in the sun too much. So she is wearing a long sleeve silk blouse and thin pants so she won't get too hot.
As she walks her neighborhood she remembers her life and what all she had seen over the many years. A tear comes to her eye as she thinks about how her family hardly ever comes to visit. Holidays and that's it. And lately they been skipping a few holidays here and there. She is so lonely and walking helps her somehow.

And go....

Worn out mother at walmart

You can tell she is at her breaking point. She has bags and circles under her eyes, she has a big pack of beer in her basket, some gum, and the latest gossip magazine. Her eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep. Her children are home with their dad who keeps calling her cellphone asking when she is coming home. She would rather throw her phone than answer it for he 10th time since she left the house 20 mins ago.
She wants to run away from home and get away from the constant demand of being a stay at home mom. Her feet hurt, her back hurts, and if she hears mommy said one more time she fears she is going to snap. She has housework to get done but while she is cleaning up one mess the kids are making another in the other room and it seems she can't catch a break. Then her man comes home from work and the house is slightly messy and he comments "what did you do all day? Why isn't the dishes done? Why is the laundry not done? Why isn't the kids dressed?" And she just grabbed her purse and keys and said she needed to go to the store. And here she was flabbergasted at how in 20 mins her man can't handle the kids and wants her home NOW! She has had to deal with them all day long. Sure he worked all day and had to deal with adults all day. But why can't he just do it for the evening? Just 1 hour without calling her phone constantly.
And go....

Man in tattered clothes under a bridge

His wife kicked him out because she couldn't take the instability in his work and his emotions. He finds himself under a bridge sleeping not knowing where his next meal is going to come from. His mental health is struggling with suicidal thoughts currently but no one would know. He doesn't talk to himself like the girl who frequently mopes around his choice of sleeping spot. It's summertime and it's starting to really get hot out. His ability to get a job is shattered more and more as his inability to cleanse himself and groom himself. Not only that but he has no phone number for them to call and let him know he has an interview, one of his fellow homeless "friends" must have stolen it from him. And most employers need an address for the person they are hiring so they can send their checks to them.
Passerby citizens grimace at his appearance and hurry pass to avoid the common phrase from people like him. "Do you got any change?"
Days had turned to weeks in a blur for him and now it's been 3 months. He has lost a lot of weight so his clothes barely fit anymore he uses a couple plastic bags tied together as a belt to keep his pants up. And he uses the socks the shelter give out as toilet paper when he uses the rest room at night then puts it in a plastic bag and then in the morning he takes the bag smuggles it into the nearby library and flushes it down the toilet. Building maintenance has tried to crack down on this activity from happening requiring the homeless to leave their bags with the security guard at the table but they still sneak them in to flush them.
Every day he struggles with hunger and thirst and his "friends" tempt him in doing drugs and drinking with them. He rather just jump from the bridge he sleeps under each night.
And go....
