Billy is sooo cool!

Ummm.... ok.
 
My name is Mickey. I've been living here for a while now. This town is pretty safe. Lincoln is like one big street kid family.
 
The Underpass isn't so bad either. It is a little noisy here sometimes but It doesn't get too cold at night, even with all the concrete.
It is a good collection of adults down on their luck and living in shacks made of mattresses, druggies, and us kids.
 
Sometimes brave kids from town come in here and skateboard because of all the stuff. They built a big track and a ramp before I ever got here.
Sometimes they come up and build something new or fix something. I slept under one of the ramps once but it is REALLY scary to wake up to a skateboard rolling over your head on the wood! Ha ha ha!
 
I scrounge cash at the fountain in Corrall park. The hot dog guy is nice and sometimes just gives me a hotdog or one of his bananas.
I only put my hat out during the day and on the far side of the park.
A couple of fancy types always leave some scratch and it helps me avoid the moms who always try to save me or call the police.
The cops are always dumb dicks to anyone who puts a hat down around here. The park is smack in the middle of the nice part of town, I guess, so they shuffle you off pretty quick if they get wind of you. I guess I look older now so they don't try to take me in so much anymore.
 
Anyway, so The Underpass. It's where I kick my feet up with a burger or a half container of spaghetti I snagged from behind Reinaldo's.
There are alot of strange people that come through here sometimes. The big guy with the dreadlocks. The sneaky lady with all the rats. The big fat old guy in the steel shack...
None of them really pay me no mind. Sometimes the dreadlock guy has a big container of meat and he shares with the adults. I get a bite or two sometimes.
But Billy he always looks sort of tired or worn down you know, like one of us, but...
He looks kind of cool, he dresses kinda nice and clean, but if you look at his shoes you know he lives in a hole somewhere like us.
They're always ratted up, floppy, and taped together like mine.. He always has something for us, but he likes to skateboard on the ramps too with the other kids. He always comes by at night to check on us but not like every day, every couple of days. He ALWAYS brings a backpack of stuff and his red skateboard with the tiger painting under it.
Socks sometimes, water sometimes, food sometimes, one time he gave me his slurpee! Thing is he only gives stuff to the kids that are out at night mostly. So I always watch for him and run over. I was suspicious the first few times I saw him I thought he was a kidnapper or something but Jessy says he is ok and never hurt nobody.
 
He is sooo coool. He never gets angry when someone hugs him or something and he doesn't spaz out on the skateboard ramps. He always looks happy to bring us stuff.
 
So can I have my sandwich now lady? I told you all about Billy... why do you want to know anyway?...
