Great to have you on #hive and posting. I will be looking forward to seeing more parts to it coming shortly.

That was the reality of life back in those days and not too far from where we are again now. To be honest this was a good living situation compared to some of the poverty and despair that people were living in back in those days.

This was a time where money was scarce, unemployment was high, families lived in tenement dwellings, often 12 families to a single house that had been subdivided into multiple "flats".

You would find plenty immigrants still living in buildings like this and struggling to survive. Life is harsh in the city and if you can't do it by yourself you will end up in trouble very fast. There isn't enough support for people who fall by the wayside.

It is very well written and draws you into the story. Even more for me obviously being Irish and knowing some of the past from here.
