"What the hell do you think +you're doing" she hollered as Paul watched the shed. "I'm burning the shed +down" he said smiling "isn't it warm?" "It's warm enough out here without +that burning down" she said "go get the hose and put this thing out." "But +Mom" "Do it" she said in the tone of voice that meant Do it now. He went +around the side of the house screwed the nozzle on grabbed the end of the hose +pulled it around the house and waited for water to come out the end. When it +did it was not in a very strong stream. "I don't think this is going to work" +Paul said to his mother. "God damn it I have to call the Fire Department" she +said and went inside the house. The shed continued in its burning. + +After the Fire Department put out the fire one of the men said "Your mother +says you set this building on fire. You know Arson is a major offense." "I +set it on fire" Paul said. "Why?" "Because ART wants to be random, it wants +to be natural, but it isn't. Humans create ART because we can't help but see +patterns in randomness. But we feel guilty about it." The man nodded to +another man in a blue uniform. "We want the ART to feel natural, to feel +random, but we can't stop seeing the patterns" as the man in blue walked over +and put a hand on Paul's shoulder "ART is unnatural by its very nature. I +took my ART and gave it back to nature" as the man led him over to a black and +white car and put him inside. He was saying something about Paul's right. +"No it's my left that was hurt" said Paul "but it's all better now." -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
