The Arsonist's Secret |
|
|
In the Alfred estate, residents had been living in fear due to a string of
motorcycle arsons. Despite increased police patrols, the culprit remained at
large. When eight motorcycles were found burnt in the car park, car owners
feared for their safety too. Mr Tan and Mr and Mrs Wong were discussing the
situation when Mr Lee joined them, feigning concern.
As the days went by, Mr Lee grew increasingly restless. Memories of his
humiliating dismissal from work haunted him. He knew he had been mistreated but
felt powerless to do anything about it. One day, he kicked a motorcycle in anger
and was surprised to find a sense of satisfaction in watching it fall. That
night, he returned with a bottle of lighter fluid and set the motorcycle on
fire. The rush of adrenaline he felt was addictive and soon he was setting more
fires.
However, his actions were caught by Mr Rahim and Mr Eng, who confronted him in
the act. Overcome with guilt and shame, Mr Lee broke down in tears. The
neighbors were understanding and offered him a chance at redemption, but only if
he sought help for his issues.
With the support of his community and professional help, Mr Lee was able to
overcome his demons and find peace. The arsonist's secret was out, but so was
his path to recovery. |
