Atonement (6S)

There comes old Paul Miller, stooped over and headed for that fire station again, no doubt carrying that bucket full of water. Folks say Paul lost his mind sometime ago after his grandson burned up in a fire after a lit cigarette fell out of his mouth during a drunken nap. If you ask me, his daughter Mabeline knew full well Paul couldn’t resist a beer in the early afternoon, even if he was supposed to be watching little Dakota James. He was a rowdy something that Dakota, and just loved going down to that fire station playin’ on all those old trucks they kept out back. I guess Paul is off to put him out again. Maybe one day Paul will take that bucket and pour it on his own head.
