Blown Together

blown-together-on-feet-1.jpg

People were standing in the streets. The barriers had been knocked down.
A lot of people with baby carriages were standing on the sidewalk looking confused. Cottone took the carriages off the sidewalk and put them in the middle of the street because, at the moment, the street seemed safer than the sidewalk. Then, in front of her, she noticed a blonde woman with a terrible leg wound whom Cottone thought had been blown from the sidewalk into the middle of the street. Next to her, holding a belt around her leg, was a tall, dark-haired kid. College kid, probably. What was he doing there? The police officer noticed how white the woman’s teeth were. That, and that her hair was singed, burned around her face. -- RTWT @ Runners World

You read this one - and then you glance over the article below it on the sidebar - and you realize where true worth lies.

The young man that was instinctively running from danger, then stopped, and reversed course. Back to the scene to help. Incredible read.
