Untitled (At this time) novel

This is a novel, or perhaps novella, most of which is still contained within my head. It is a story of a homeless man and his struggle to survive, and ultimately come up in the world. I think this story will be unique, because the characters are unimportant. This novel, or novella will concentrate on the events. It will show that sometimes people are just people, devoid of any real depth or bigger meaning. Because for every one thing that makes us different, a millennium of events make us the same.
