Ron threw the phone in the pond. Ducks circled the formed ripples as they searched for bread. Dissappointed there was no bread to sample the search was abandoned.
italic Will this kid ever shut-up? italic was the thought before the action. Ron was annoyed by the voice of his grandson. He was also annoyed by the infingement of his personal space. Circumstances had accumulated throughout Ron's life, leaving him a disadvantaged curmudgeon. It does not pay to be good was his self-diagnosed conclusion. Over the years he had come to the realize that bad things happen to good people; it did not matter how good an individual was.
Ron had lost a lot of people over the years, through circumstances. The very people he cared about.

italic Stupid old man. italic Benjamin thought as he watched his phone sink to the bottom of the pond. Benjamin's reaction was instinctual, "What is wrong with you IMBEC-" Benjamin trailed off as he noticed his grandfather gasping for air and clutching his chest. Ron's skin started to discolour and became sweaty which made Ron clammy. italic Crap. What do I do? italic Benjamin panicked. He flagged down a pedestrian with the hope that they carried a phone on them. Logic dictated that there was no time to retrieve his phone.
"CALL TRIPLE ZERO!"
The thought of his phone was long gone as more pressing matters weighed heavy on his heart. italic Don't die on me old timer.italic Benjamin looked up italic Don't let him dieitalic he prayed. Benjamin did his best to stay calm.

Paramedics sprang out of the ambulance.This was not their first day on the job. Ron was placed on a stretcher and carried to the ambulance.
Benjamin sat in the front seat of the ambulance. A screaming toddler throwing a tantrum was no match as the siren sounded. The sea of traffic parted as the ambulance zipped through to the hospital.
