Poem
Dylan Carston was a well-off young man, thanks to a large and health trust fund, his father was a true Wall Street ace and had been quite generous to his sons. Dylan had set himself up in Miami after years spent getting his MBA, he did consulting four days every week, the other three he did like to play. He’d partied with friends at all the bars, and had his share of hot one-night stands, not yet had he thought of a wife and kids, he was enjoying the life of a young man. One Saturday as he walked down the beach to get exercise and breath the sea air, he stumbled upon a frantic woman calling for him to go over there. As he drew near he saw down in the sand a young woman who’s face had gone blue, he could see no lifeguard near where they were, but fortunately he knew what to do. He found no pulse when he listened close, and placed two hands high on her left breast, with hard compression he began CPR, pumping furiously at her chest. Every so often he placed his mouth on hers and forced oxygen deep into her lungs, the other woman ran off to find more help while Dylan continued the rhythmic pump. Finally after three desperate minutes a gurgled rasp echoed up from her throat, life returned to her, the blue fading out, though her eyes still knew not where to go. Moments later he heard the rush of feat, the lifeguard and the woman had returned, Dylan gestured to where the girl lay, “I brought her back, now I think it’s your turn.” The lifeguard thanked him for taking action, then knelt down slowly at the victim’s side, ambulances came, reports were fill out, when Dylan left three hours had gone by. He felt good about saving the woman’s life, it was a moment he would not forget, congratulations came in, on top of that the lifeguards sent him a certificate. Three weeks went by and Dylan returned to the safe routines of the everyday world, and bit by bit his thoughts turned away from the near death of that helpless girl. So it was with a great deal of surprise when a process server told him these words: “Dylan Carston, you’re being sued for assault, you can consider yourself dully served.” Dylan’s mind whirled at the accusation, he had no idea how this could be true? Had some ex regretted their time and cried ‘rape,’ were they evil enough to go down that route? CONCLUDES IN PART II.
