I’ve Seen A Lot Of Sick Things As A Police Officer, But I’ve Never Seen Something Like This
That monster burned it all to the fucking ground.
Every home, every house, every person. The entire street. I heard the report a couple hours after I rushed the girl into the ER. I remember standing outside the hospital, blood still staining my hands, and seeing the horizon glow from the blaze.
What hell I’ve carried with me…
But at least it doesn’t all end in misery.
I’ve stayed in touch with the little girl I saved that night. Blessedly, she survived and has found joy in her life. I don’t know how she recovered mentally from that nightmare…but she has. I visit her and her husband every now and again.
She really is amazing.
I was over at their house a couple days ago and they told me the most wonderful news.
They told me that they’re going to be parents soon.
