My treatment:
Old Rain
The rain is pouring down so heavy its hard to see anything. The streets are filled with fog and smog. Arthur has a hard time walking straight, his legs is not what they used to be. One step takes almost all his energy, and breathing is though in this dark future. He is sure his time is up, but he wants his passing to be a happy one. He hasn’t smiled in years, people ignore him and the government don’t support his old bones anymore. People push him away as they are passing by him. Arthur fall face first down in a big puddle. He can hear child’s laughter. Its hard to get up. Something is lifting his arm and supports him up in a sitting position. Arthur cant see anything because of all the mud and water in his face and eyes. He hears child’s laughter again, and then a tiny voice saying "Are you alright old man?" He clears his eyes of the dirt, but no ones there. Instead he is holding a teddy bear. There’s something familiar about it. A tear runs down Arthurs cheek. You can see it in his eyes that he’s happy. He hugs the bear. His hand falls down in the puddle again. Its completely still. He sits there with eyes closed and a smile on his face. He is completely still, nothing can make him feel bad anymore. The teddy walks away and disappears in the fog and rain.
