Several real-life figures and events inspired this story. Since not all of them have been convicted of anything or suffered any kind of formal censure whatsoever, it's probably best I don't name them, but parallels are asily drawn.
Regarding the way George steps nonchalantly into homelessness, here I was drawing somewhat on a book called "Stuart: A Life Backwards", as well as my own experience of living in a tent for over a year.
As for the ending, I'll leave you to decide whether it's truly a happy ending and whether justice was fully served.
