Matthew Walker covers the sensitive ears of his companion, an albino rat named Fish, that clings to his shoulders. They had just made the trek across town to a pet store for rat food, and now they’re waiting for the bus to take them home.
Walker says his social phobias stem from when he was homeless at 19. For nearly five years he did what he had to do to survive. He worked odd jobs and often squatted in abandoned buildings.
Now, it's apparent that Fish is the one providing support for Walker, not the other way around.
