A hover train roared and its horn went off in a loud honk that could deafen people up close. The smell of rotten food and feces wafted through the air along with a sense of desperation. But the sight was a simple one, a man named Jack Smith lay curled up in a ball near a trash fire on the under city streets of Coruscant. Recently Jack had been let go from his job, had his apartment explode, and found out that he had lung cancer, now one might ask themselves why wouldn't Jack just Walter White the system and cook up some of that sweet sweet blue meth. Well to answer that question, Jack wasn't the smartest fellow in the world. At least he didn't think he was.
And here I thought living alone in a over furnished small apartment was rock bottom, well now I know. I used to have a job, a house, well not a house but an apartment. But I had all of that, then in a blink of an eye, poof it was gone. Really goes to show that life can always find a way to screw you more than it already has, so I guess this was it. Die alone on the coruscant under city streets next to a trash can fire and a guy named Sticky Joe.
I hated Sticky Joe, such an ass. Always wants some of my food, I don't care if you were a five star republic general joe, get your own food. That's what I thought as I looked over to the sleeping pile that was Sticky Joe, a person buried in mounds of ratty old blankets. It might as well of been his tomb, he was dead, I was dead, the only difference was he didn't know it yet. There really wasn't any hope down here, we were just passing the time until some underworld agency picked us up and took our organs. Like Zeltros, now I'm afraid to go to Zeltros. I hear homeless people have it made over there.
But sadly all my ramblings would be lost shortly after I heard a noise coming down the alley. A noise like footsteps hitting the ground with a rhythm that spelled game over Jack. Well you had a good run, solid thirty years. Who am I kidding, I had a terrible wasted life. Pet frogs live more productive lives. As the footsteps got louder and louder I simply lay there and waited for certain death. Hopefully this one wasn't a stark raving psycho and would just hit me in the head with a large rock or something.
