Chapter 2

The next day, Adam Shepard signs up for an "Easy Labor: Work Today, Pay Today" company in the morning. He had been warned against this by a man named Sarge due to its unfavorable wages, however he goes anyways for lack of cash. he works for as low as $6 to $6.75 an hour, only walking away with $4.50. However he says that some people find this arrangement more appealing than a real job because they don't have to work when they don't want to and because they receive immediate cash when they need it. Shepard used his days funds to buy essential necessities such as food and clothes. He made friends with some of the other people at the shelter, especially a man named Marco.
