the boy continues walking until he reaches a corner shop
inside, he decides to buy bag of sweets and a bouquet of flowers
he is about to pay when he notices
a blond-haired toddler
who sobs against her mothers' skirt.
after the boy pays the cashier, he slips the tot a piece of chocolate
she smiles and says 'i love you!'
the mother gives the boy a thankful smile as he walks away
little does she know the boy's fate
in what is now
fourty-three minutes.
