WINNER, CHRISTMAS CONTEST 2025
The high street is festooned with light and colour. Warm, inviting aromas emanate from the restaurants as people dash about carrying gaudily wrapped gifts and eggnog lattes. The street is full of happy, sparkly people going home for Christmas.
In a doorway, a man and his dog sit in a nest of cardboard and blankets. He looks longingly at the restaurants and asks the happy people for help.
But nobody sees him.
Nobody hears him.
He turns to his friend. “We may not have Christmas dinner, but we have each other.”
He gazes upwards as snow begins to gently fall.
