The Day the World Caught Fire

You have to follow life with a certain moral compass. Some people followed along life's path with poise. Never a stutter to their strut. Some people faltered a little, but never lost their balance. Some skipped a step, taking leaps and bonds to get farther along. Then there was Atticus James who decided to set his compass ablaze. And when I met Atticus, I knew that was the day the world caught fire.
