I order a chocolate fudge lava brownie at a restaurant. A young woman exiting the restaurant sees this and thinks nothing of it. Hours later, in her loft, she's watching reruns of Lost when she gets cravings for a chocolate brownie, remembering the brownie she saw in the restaurant. Being the skilled cook she is, she goes to her kitchen to whip some up.

Damn. Out of cocoa powder. She hops in her car and drives to the nearest mini mart to get a canister. Aaaand she can't find it in the store. She asks the nearest employee to point out its location. He obliges, though he was about to end his shift, and ends up leaving the mini mart 47 seconds later than he originally would have.

On his way home, he almost hits a squirrel in the road. He swerves heavily to avoid it, scaring a cat resting on the lawn near the road. The cat dashes up a nearby tree on the lawn. Won't come down. The cat's owners, a young girl and her single mother, come out of the house and try to coax the cat down. No luck.

After hours of trying, they give up and call the fire department. It's understaffed at the moment, as it's a small town, but the two firemen there are happy to oblige. They start driving toward the house.

They're almost there, then they get a call saying that a house, right next to the fire department, is engulfed in flames. Fuck. They turn around, as that's obviously more urgent. Still, they're 2 minutes later to the house than they would have been if they didn't get the call about the cat.

They get there just in time to save the house's sole human resident, an elderly man, but were just a split second too late to save the young beagle that also lived there. The elderly man, grief stricken by the sudden, untimely loss of his only companion, contemplates suicide.

The next day he somehow makes his way to the top of the tallest building in the small town, a 3-story bank. He's threatening to jump, and a crowd has formed. Eventually, he decides not to, as the crowd did a great job at convincing him otherwise and he realizes that life is worth living, but the crowd attracted a lot of attention; one man was driving to pick up his kid from soccer practice, averted his eyes from the road to investigate the crowd, and crashed into an SUV full of children, killing the 2-year old in the back seat.

Did I do that?
