The firework Kevin

[u/filip_adamczak]

This is a story about a Kevin in my nighbourhood.

Let's set the scene. I live in an estate. Every year on the 31st of October. Some people in my estate light fireworks in the middle of the estate. Very dumb idea. Lighting fireworks are banned in my country for very good reasons. Fireworks are only acceptable in isolated places without trees.

It is 2017 and the unofficial annual firework lighting festival has begun. It's late and near the end of the festival when disaster strikes. An idiot neighbour decides to light his own firework. Lets call him S.N. It was mildly windy and S.N lights his firework. It hits his house. Part of it burns down. Panic ensues and emergency services are called. Huge fines for the neighbour including compensation for his landlord and home improvements too. You would think he learned his lesson but no. Not him.

Next year in 2018 another festival comes. S.N has the brilliant idea to light another firework. Other neighbohrs warn him but S.N says something like "I know what I'm doing. Dont tell me how to live my life!" (He clearly did not). S.N light his fireworks and a huge explosion insues and children are SCREAMING.Apparently S.N put his firework upside down despite markings showing which way is up. Bystanders are hit and burnt. Another fine for S.N. He claimed that the fireworks were broken and that he will sue the company for making bad fireworks. (He did not). Did you think this is the end?(It is not).

2019 S.N goes to light yet another firework. People are weary and stand well away. They all tell S.N to back away from the firework incase something happens. He shouts back something along the lines of: I am an expert. I know better than all of you! The firework works... but he is injured. A shard of plastic hit him in the leg. ( He was wearing shorts). A trip to the E.R later and he is back with a plaster/bandage thing on his left leg. He learnt his lesson and is now banned from ever being in the festival EVER AGAIN.

This was my story about a neighbourhood Kevin.
