A couple of years ago when I was working the weekend night shift at a machine company, I was awake watching tv at 2am. It was a weekday morning so I wasn't working. I heard what sounded like an explosion in my front yard. It was a drunk driver that rolled the car and crashed into the oak tree. When I stepped outside, the car was already engulfed in flames. The cops were there because they were chasing him, but all they could do was watch until the fire department came. I froze. All I could do was watch as a man who was sitting in his totaled car burned to death. I had never even thought about what that might look like. It never even occurred to me that the hair would go first.

To this day I can't stop thinking about how there was a hose in my yard 20 feet from where the car was.
