how’d THAT happen?

driving to work today, i saw that one bus stop shelter i pass was burned out. these are the shelters with plastic sides and domed tops on aluminum frames, and sometimes there's advertising on the sides... anyway i don’t think this one had ads or a bench. but as i pulled up i saw the plastic sides were gone, leaving ragged edges along the frame, and at first i thought the wind had blown them out. as i pulled up i saw the frame was blacker than it should be, the concrete was blackened, all the plastic was gone and the whole scene was... scorchy.

which then led me to wonder, how the hell do you burn out a structure that’s like 3' x 5' with NOTHING INSIDE IT?
