CAM BAILEY HAS A BRAINSTORM

Cam hadn't counted on the explosion doing quite as much damage as it had.  He'd hoped that while the police and the fire department was dealing with  a minor fire in the basement, he'd be able to slip out of an attic window and then steal away across the rooftops with his little sack of stolen jewelry.  The problem was that ol' Cam there didn't know much about making bombs aside from how to set a time delayed fuse.  So when the bomb went off, it went off with an explosion that was more than twice the bang that Cam had intended and this was why Cam was left stranded on a third floor attic landing that had all of the stability of a box of crackers.   If I can just reach that pole, was the last coherent thought that crossed Cam Bailey's mind, right before the last of the beams in the basement went with a crunch like a boot on a pile of saltine crackers.  And as he plummeted to what was probably his death, Cam had time to think to himself  Hell!  I should have just set a fire on the first floor instea-  And then that was all for poor, dumb Cam Bailey.
