Cold outside

A family of 3 got out of the hospital for their son's magic checkup.

If the test is positive, he is entitled as a powerholder and guaranteed a upperhand in life.

Negative means mediocre. Both parent is a powerholder and expecting their offspring to be the same.

The dad argued as they reached their car. The mother holding her thoughtless son. He is used to their quarrel that he wanders in his mind.

The mom argued with optimism of having a healthy child. A father with ambition does not fret to his belief in the social ladder as they drive to the city.

The social ladder was realigned when powerholders became public and became a fancy status. As they occupy all population in the country, corruption had another era of reigning.

The family cruised to the night lights in low traffic. The boy never spoke of what he wants so he wandered his mind of being outside.

He wandered and wandered until the point, he fully immerse himself at the setting.

As they argue at the front, the boy suddenly disappeared.

The mom looked back to check on her son, panicked that no one is at the back.

Did they forgot about him, did he run away. Thoughts filled the car that the father started at the back.

By fate, a car accident came to the streets. Beating the red light. A car and a truck.

As the boy realized that he was outside, he cried in public losing his parents at the cold outside.
