I see her running.
Running without looking left or right.
Ignoring all the warning signs.

I see her running.
Running without even considering the option she could've taken the wrong path.

I see her running.
Running down the dead end street, which ends in a huge fire.

I see her running.
And I see her friends running after her, yelling that she should stop.

I see her grinning provocatively.
She is looking back at her friends and runs even faster.

Her friends are trying to catch up.
She is faster.
Her friends are trying to reach out for her.
She is faster.
Her friends are yelling at her again.
She is ignoring all the warnings.


I see her pullover catching fire.

And I see her friends who are keeping a safe distance and not risking their lives,too. Because if you are burning yourself, how can you possibly be helpful to anyone?
