Crushed

The weight of a faulted life fell upon him. He felt his knees buckling as he strained to overcome. Many people passed by, some big some small. Some tried to lift the weight from him by themselves, while others just looked as they passed. Several had jacks that would have been perfect to help, but none used them and several even hide them so no one would know, thinking that if he was worthy he would not be under the weight to start with. Pintu seeing the need offered his jack and just like him he was crushed no more.
