The last we saw of Joe, he'd found Dog.
That was just before two big snow storms. So I wonder what exactly have they been up too lately? How have they been doing?
Did they survive the deep freeze? What's going on?
~~~~~~~
Joe cooks up some vegetables and offers some to Dog. He feels something strange going on. He doesn't know why, but he CARES about Dog. At one point in his life he was determined not to care for anything.
Dog shares with Joe and helps him gather more sticks for the stove along with some nice warm moss to sit in.
Joe notices Dog is shivering even though he is close to the stove.
Maybe this could help?
Dog receives the gift and jumps up and down in the snow.
Joe looks down at Dog and feels another strange thing happening aside from the warmth in his chest.
He feels like jumping up and down with Dog. What feeling could this be?
Joe doesn't understand the smile on his face. He has never smiled, not that he can recall.
This world may be much better than the one he left.
Perhaps this is not The End?

Homeless Joe is a concept created by Zhi Park. Joe has a back story that I wasn't even really aware of until I was sent a link to the creator's Instagram account. The story is vague but at the same time I felt everything that was written just by posing and using this figure. I found this after I wrote the above.
Interesting.
Joe and Dog keep giving me endless places to go in their story.

About Homeless Joe ：As for Joe, the world is covering in gray. Ever since aliens captured Joe’s family, he got away from the crowd to observe the sky and extinct volcanoes. No one knows exactly how long Joe was in the wilderness, he changed, became loving life, and looking forward to the end of the world, expecting an end to give himself an answer passively. He likes to sit in the tent and soliloquize oddly, listening to his shabby no-signal radio with the rustle sound current or just lying down in the tent floor scribbling.
