Day 25: Contemplation of Doubt

The daily routine was really beginning to eat away at Marlon. Wake up, eat breakfast, watch the fairy walk through the door, go to work, fix machines that no one else was fixing, and save people who couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag!
Another emergency. Marlon could have sworn that one of the ladies looked like a thief stalking around the neighborhood and sneaking in to people's houses. Shouldn't she be able to sneak her way out of a burning house?
Sure there was fire coming from the windows, but it wasn't major. The major fire was in the garage. Marlon couldn't prevent the serious damage that was done, but he did get the fire out. What are these people doing in their garages, Marlon wondered. People are so careless in this town! The fire was huge, and Marlon had to pee. There was no time for that! He was unable to contain the liquid in his body while fighting the fire, and Marlon was not very pleased with this. But the fire HAD to be put out! His bodily needs were unimportant.
Doubt arose in Marlon's mind. It was bad enough that he had wet himself like a baby.

"I can't keep doing this," Marlon said to himself. "But what else would I do?" The very thought made him depressed, but then he felt joy and happiness as another thought entered his mind. Annalove. Yes, Annalove! She's a great friend, and I felt very happy with her. Perhaps I could talk to her? Meggan wouldn't understand. She's fought so hard to improve that station for my benefit. She would be disappointed in me to know how I felt. Yes, Annalove would understand.
