Is this really a drama, lol? Judging by the end, it seems more like a comedy to me. Maybe you could explain why a scarecrow wanted to be a firefighter? How did he get a job interview? Surely everyone throughout his life told him to stay away from fire? I thought your writing was pretty good, though.

Simon,
I'll add a 'comedy' tab. Thanks for pointing that out.
I guess 'Scarecrow' is known for not having a brain - 'stupid is what stupid does'.

Dan,

Comedy?  Nah.  We need all the Fire Fighters we can get; brains or no brains.  A special breed of human or scare crow; you know, signing up to fight fires.  Save people.      Hey, Captain Joe, hire the straw dude.

Good effort.

JJ
