Po Six

Leaving the police station Robert was furious. Angry at how the officer treated him and mad as hell at the guy who kidnapped him. The flame inside Robert grew larger and larger until it consumed him. The flame withstood the rain that he was now walking in and continued as the rain became more relentless. Drenched, Robert didn’t try to seek shelter. Instead he just stood there and the flame continued to burn. Slowly the flame was beginning to extinguish and the anger began to subdue. Suddenly an ambulance hurried around the corner, interrupting Robert’s silence, peace, and calm. Intrigued, Robert followed the speeding car as fast as he could. It didn’t go far because once it was out of sight, he saw it parked and the paramedics aboard hurrying to get to the playground. Damnit, I hope no kid has been hurt he thought. To his relief it was only some old lady. Probably just slipped in the rain. She'll be okay. This was quickly dissolved when he said that the woman didn't look at okay at all. She wasn't breathing. She was still, just there. It was so sad to Robert that he quickly left to go home with a morbid outlook on life.
