I was sitting on my car in the sun, basking and relaxing when I heard a kid scream in pain. I had heard that before in my neighbourhood and been unable to tell where it had come from, but this time I knew.
I sat stiff wondering what to do. I knew the parent of this kid (I could hear them screaming) and normally thought they were kind. I hoped it was a one off, I left them alone, disappointed and angry with myself and every other person who left this child to suffer rather than get involved.
