Clark Howard's " Escape From Wolfkill " is a fine story , and it's first conclusion was touching !
There seemed me be a couple of factual/chronological errors , or at least questionable citations , especially considering thhart one assumes that it is happening in 2010 , when it was published or perhaps when it was submotted to EQMM , in 2009 !
I lkied the point of a man out of prison after many years being confused by modern-day ways and words - but would his interior monologue have used the word " homeless " to desribe a mon in the out-of-doors ?
I think that word , seen as more kind/less judgemental than " bum " , " hobo " , " tramp " , etc. only really came into usage around the late 1970s - perhaps early 1980s even , I think that may have even been concsiously coined .
