I Saved a Little Boy from Icy Water – and It Destroyed My Life Overnight

He wasn’t wearing a jacket. He didn’t even have shoes on!

It was a perfectly normal afternoon at first.

“Hey, kid!”

He didn’t even look back.

He was running alongside the old chain-link fence surrounding the lake now. He paused just long enough to shove the gate open and kept running.

I slammed the brakes. Kids yelped behind me.

“Stay in your seats!” I threw on the hazards and ran from the bus.
