Indistinct Voices

8 am and I am rushing out of my house when suddenly I hear indistinct voices A child is crying because his father has just been killed A car hit him while he was walking his dog The dog who protected his house from being burglarized.. I keep walking and get into my car, things like these happens all the time.. While driving to work, I see a person reading a book while driving.. While he is reading his book he runs a red light and kills a pedestrian And while the pedestrian is laying down dead, paramedics arrive at the scene. And so I realize that the pedestrian is me…And it all could have been avoided If I had only cared when I heard indistinct voices….from a child who was crying.. Thoubert Larus!
