The Mystery of the Man in the Stairwell

My boyfriend’s best friend was over at our place last night, and when he went out to get his contact case out of the truck he noticed this guy asleep in the stairwell. The guy was snoring really loud. I went out and looked at him too, with my boyfriend and his friend manning the door in case I had to make a hasty retreat, but he was very fast asleep. We figured he must have just locked himself out of his apartment or something, but just in case we called the LPD to go see if he was okay. “There’s a guy asleep in our stairwell,” I told dispatch.

“Can you describe him?” asked the dispatcher.

“He’s caucasian,” I said. “He’s snoring loudly.” I took a picture of him before the cops showed up.

Poor guy. He was looking for his mom, he said, only he couldn’t find her and he got tired and cold and decided to take a nap someplace. The cops got him some food and took him someplace warm to sleep. They said they would try to help him find his mom. I hope they find her.
