Once upon a time, in the 21st century or some shit, there was a middle aged ex-salaryman, now homeless guy called Jeff. Jeff was prideful, too prideful if i say, hated the rich, and really arrogant. So much so, his arrogance
towards his coworkers and his boss got him fired from his job, later even his wife left. But he didnt even care, he felt like they were the issue, not himself. Later on, he got evicted from his house due to the bills not
being paid. Now homeless, all he does is wandering around the city, complaining about his situation, and finding some place to stay the night. Hes so prideful, that he doesnt even do the conventional thing of asking
for money from strangers on the street, because "Hes too good for that".

    It was the cold winter. The enviroment and weather was harsh, too cold, and now its even snowing. But even from these harsh conditions, Jeff would still manage to find someplace to stay, he was "street smart" I guess,
knew most of the stuff about the city and the streets hes in. Now today, he found a place under the bridge, somewhat comfortable to lie on, it was free so good for him! and he decided to sleep.
    In his sleep, he was dreaming about his past, and how he was really rich, and was treated really good. His parents were really rich, always gave him whatever he wanted, basically spoiled him rotten. as he was having
a great sleep, he has been suddenly shook into consciousness. From what he saw from the first seconds of consciousness with his tired eyes was a quite well suited up gentleman.
    "Hey, a-are you alright??" - man asked hesitantly, but it seems that Jeff has been startled from the look of that man.
    "W-WHAT?!?"Swiftly jumping out of his place, he quickly stood up, rapidly walked back a bit, kept his distance from the stranger, and asked:
    "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?? WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
    "H-hi, Im John, uh, and i just wanted to check up, since youve been
sleeping under a br-"
    As John was explaining himself, Jeff quickly took a glance at John, and made an assumption that he might be a really wealthy and rich man. Clearly showing an expression of annoyance and anger in his face, he abruptly
interrupted John and aggressively shouted
    "FUCK NO, JUST BECAUSE YOUR RICH DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN JUST DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, DOING WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE MONEY?!? GRR, I HATE YOU RICH PEOPLE!!"
    John visibly confused, with a bit of a hesitation, told Jeff:
    "W-Well, you l-looked like you needed some h-help, and just b-because
i have some wealth d-doesnt mea-"
    "SHUT THE FUCK UP! J-JUST, SHUT UP! GO AWAY, I DONT NEED YOU HELP!"
    John was a bit surprised by Jeff's words, but then his expression became very much indifferent and pale.
    "alright i guess."
    And then John calmly turned around, and just quietly left...

    After that day, waking up, he was greeted with snow. A big, big amount of snow. The snow never stopped pouring, the days became colder and colder. Yet, Jeff always managed to find a place to stay, i think he sure is
"Street Smart". But as the days go, the places to stay has been reducing, incrementally. The vision worsened due to snow, the wind became faster and faster day by day, combined with snow, it was a terrible vision. And then,
goverment started implementing what we call "Hostile architecture". Basically locking away the places where you can somewhat lie down on behind a paywall, or just making the experience worse for everyone. It has been implemented due to homelessness being a some sort of issue, idk, goverment of this world just
has some beef with homeless people.
    
    In another random winter day, estimately a week after Jeff met John, there was a blizzard on town. It was freezing, like, so freezing that he had to resort into going into some places to stay, but got quickly kicked out due
just looking weird. He was walking and was in desperate search of a someplace to stay, but he couldnt, as most, if not all places have been already altered to be hostile against the homeless. Plus, the snow just made it impossible
to navigate at all. The conditions were really unbearable. And then, he collapsed. He couldnt get up, he couldnt control his body, it was freezing that even the pain was numbed out. His vision was too blurry, he couldnt see
anything. And as he lied there, everybody just passed by, not even glancing at his body. Then, by pure coincidence, there was John passing by.

    Jeff had a really small spark of hope by seeing John, even through his fucked up eyes. He felt some sort of a relief, maybe he thought he was getting saved, or just getting helped? We dont really know. John stopped,
took a good look at his body, for approximately 5 seconds, then just left. Didnt even move his hand, he just left like he never knew Jeff existed. Jeffs mind just completely collapsed, the hope has been shattered. He felt
hopeless. He tried to reach out, but he couldnt, his body was not in his control. He was helpless. 

    As the blizzard stopped, his body was fully covered in snow. So much so, that nobody couldnt even knew if anyone, or even anything was inside that pile of snow. Nobody knows who Jeff is. Nobody knew who Jeff was. Nobody knew where Jeff is, or what happened to him. And nobody cares. Nobody will help him from his situation. His fate was sealed. The end.
