Simone! Are you all right? <i>Simone!</i>"<br />And a voice, grunting with pain, says, "Todd?"<br />And-<br />And it ain't Simone's voice.<br />The smoke starts to clear.<br />And it ain't Simone.<br />"You saved me, Todd," says the Mayor, lying there, bad burns all over his face and hands, his clothes smoking like a brush fire. "You saved my life."<br />And his eyes are full of wonder of it-<br />That in the rush of the explozhun the person I chose to save-<br />The one I chose without even thinking-<br />(without there even being time for him to control me-)<br />(no time for him to <i>make</i> me do it-)<br />Was the Mayor.
