I’ll warm myself by the flames as the cities burn. #1
I watched today as a woman left her car. Her phone held at eye level and small child by the hand in tow. Taking two steps into traffic a oncoming Toyota swerved around her ,the bumper clipped with a audible tink the buttons on her long cranberry Burberry trench.
The child maybe three, looked up with larges eyes as the driver laid on the horn. The woman yelled a obscenity and gave the child a hard yank to get him moving.
I can't help feeling that the child's life had almost changed for the better.
