Soapy

Soapy comes to be the only main character in the story. He is a homeless person, who is looking of a place to spend few months of the upcoming winter. It is not an easy task, especially in such a city as New York, and Soapy clearly understands it. The best place for him appears to be a prison, so Soapy desperately tries to get arrested and be condemned to three months of imprisonment.

The cop

At the end of the story, there appears another character – the cop, who gets Soapy arrested.
