The light was steady red, so she didn't understand why it wasn't working. Suddendly she saw the mouse trapped in the machinery, she wondered if somebody has put it there deliberately as a threat message only for her, when she saw the trail of gnawed destruction as the mouse had eaten its way through tiny machines certainly worth more than herself she shrugged, put her car in gear and was promptly struck by the cross town bus going through the intersection.
The bus driver was in shock, did he really just hit that poor women? The driver decided to run, opening his bus door, screaming as he went. Just the perfect opportunity, I thought, for a lucky young opportunist to cause some anarchy. I rushed up to seize the wheel, and a guy's seeing eye dog rushed me and knocked me out of the doorway. I was taken by surprise and started to weep because all I'd wanted was a hug.
The cop pulled up to the scene lights flashing, siren blaring, and called the dispatch to let them know he arrived.
