Today I walked up to the library during lunch. The weather is nice. On the way back I walked down a residential back street. At one house, the wooden stairs up to the front porch had fallen down. An old lady was lying face down, her body stretched awkwardly over the steps and porch, with her head resting on the bottom step.
There was a young man crouched down beside her. I asked if they needed help, and he told me that her husband was inside calling the ambulance, and that the stairs had obviously collapsed.
It was so weird because the whole scene was so calm and out of place. It looked almost like a film set or something. Since I couldn't really see any way to help, I kept on walking...
