THE MAN WHO LEFT THE WORLD

The cat sat on the wall.
His name is Alfred.
Alfred miowed to the man walking by him.
The man had his head tilted 45 degrees down looking into a piece of device.
The man continued walking across the road, with his head still tilted.
The cat stood on the wall.
His name is Alfred.
Alfred miowed to the man crossing the road.
The traffic light was red.
A lorry full of pigs hit the man.
The man was thrown to the side of the road, near the wall, in front of Alfred.
The cat jump off the wall.
His name is Alfred.
Alfred found the piece of device.
Alfred sniffed the device.
He smelled death.
The cat left the wall.
The man? Left the world.
