Last Call [a short story‪]‬

For hard drinker and habitual con man Jake, last call means his last shot to find a woman willing enough and desperate enough to take him in for the night. Only this night his luck runs out, and Jake finds himself on the cold city streets with nowhere to go and no one to take care of him.

What starts out as a search for someplace warm to pass the night quickly turns into a chance for Jake to become a hero and finally put the ghosts of his past to rest, once and for all.
