Indigent

by F.E. Feeley Jr.

Being an Indigent isn’t easy in a world where money is speech. Left voiceless, and on the edge of his life, Bobby is caught in a traffic jam in Southeast Texas. Broke, shunned, and alone, he no longer can justify existing in this miserable world. Bobby, is suicidal. But a stranger cuts through the misery. Thought to be just another broke and penniless person, Bobby is soon transported to a world where angels and demons battle. To a place where a constant war is raged over humanity. Nothing is what it appears to be at this one little intersection, this one little crossroad in life.

Look for the second edition coming soon!

I am really excited to tell you all of this:

Indigent is now part of a Charity anthology by the same name, and all proceeds are going to get homeless LGBT kids off the streets in The United States, The United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa. All of this is made possible by Cool Dudes Publishing!

Those charities are:

GALA is a centre for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) culture and education in Africa. Their mission is, first and foremost, to act as a catalyst for the production, preservation and dissemination of knowledge on the history, culture and contemporary experiences of LGBTI people. www.gala.co.za

Lost-n-Found is Atlanta’s only non-profit organization dedicated to taking homeless lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth off the street and into more permanent housing, Lost-n-Found Youth is dedicated to the advocacy and service of youth from 13 to 25 years old. http://lnfy.org

Youth Off The Streets is a non-denominational community organisation working for young people aged 12-25 who are facing challenges of homelessness, drug and alcohol dependency, exclusion from school, neglect and abuse. We support these young people as they work to turn their lives around and overcome immense personal traumas such as neglect and physical, psychological and emotional abuse. http://www.youthoffthestreets.com.au

I thought this was a perfectly balanced short story full of so much thought and feeling I was surprised it wasn't longer when I was done. The author really managed to explain Bobby's backstory, current thoughts and his future in a concise way. The ending was incredibly bittersweet and perfect for Bobby, it was heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. I loved that Bobby could be the hero he was meant to be.

What a nice little gift Feely has given us with this free story.

In the month of October we usually read Halloween-based stories, but this isn't one of these. On top of that the author gave this wonderful short story for free. Read it. It is a well written, beautiful, hopeful, redemptive, joyful and sad story that touched me deeply. It also has a strong philosophical and moral core that encourages you to think about the traps or discouraging cycles that sometimes permeate our lives.

I sobbed when I finished this story. Then I smiled. Felt hopeful. And my heart felt lighter.

This is not a romance, but I promise you that you will feel the essence of love, hope, charity and humanity when you read this story. And it doesn't get any better than that.

A young man who's hit bottom commits a selfless act to save a homeless man... and finds himself dropped into the middle of a war between angels and demons. Not my usual fare, but I enjoyed it a lot. It had sort of a holiday feel, though it wasn't a holiday story. But it ends on the same note of joyous revelation you get in some Christmas stories, despite the fact that he dies.

The only reason I don't give this a five is I wish it was longer.

Not a romance. Maybe a cautionary tale? Nicely written, but I couldn't really bond with it. Let’s call this one me and not the very, very short story.
