Jan. 9th, 2005 08:12 pmi keep thinking i've seen the worst that humanity can inflict upon itself. i'm not sure why i keep thinking that. it's like scientists that continue to argue that faster than light travel is impossible. scientists who know better by the very nature of discoveries over time proving the "impossibles" possible. maybe it's a subconscious need for hope. sometimes i think i should stop doing it because then i won't be...broken. other times i think i should stop thinking so much.
swing shift started their day off with a call of a disoriented elderly male wandering around a park. when the officers arrived the man was on fire. his screams came through any time a mike was keyed.
he did it on purpose.
not even the pouring rain could stop him burning himself alive.
the interior of his car was saturated with gasoline. a small act of God that he was outside of the car when he lit himself on fire, otherwise the car would have exploded.
i guess it's a good thing that today was shift change and i took swing shift off because i have to work grave.
that call would have been mine.
