"Homeless Flea" by Steve Talmy is a story about a hapless flea that gets shaken off by its host and has to find a new dog to carry it around. In the process, it finds itself on the wrong animals and has to guess where it is.
Coming Up from the Streets: The Story of the Big Issue
The success story of "The Big Issue" is both inspirational and paradoxical; rather than a charity, it is a flourishing commercial enterprise, but one that genuinely benefits those involved. The magazine is sold by homeless and vulnerable people and, in return, they achieve financial independence and status, and self-reliance. The story of the paper's development has a practical angle; it should offer help and insights to NGOs and governments involved with the homeless, or those businesses wishing to set up enterprises for the common good.
Harry Lyon, a decent cop struggling to remain rational in a crazy world, finds his sanity threatened after being forced to shoot a man and having a homeless stranger chant haunting words at him predicting his death by dawn.
