The Fireman

A picture of a man in a firefighting uniform, axe slung over his shoulder. Beneath it, these words in a sans-serif font, kind of like a screenplay. The speaking is credited as "The Fireman": "Hang on a minute. I saw a spark in your eye. No, no, I'm quite sure of it. When you looked at me, there was a spark in your eye. I'm a fire control professional, so I know a spark when I see one. Now, I'm not trying to shame you. These things happen. But I do need you to understand that any kind of open flame is a serious matter. I once personally knew someone whose eyes were full of sparks. They were out of control. Everyone could see them. Now that person is at the bottom of a watery grave, and while you may find that ironic, it's also tragic. If you don't want a similar tragedy to befall you, I advise you to stay perfectly still and not do anything until the spark goes away. I also advise you to be more careful going forward. This is my professional advice.
Goodbye."
