Ponyboy: A Short Story

After being rushed to the nearby hospital, we find out that Ponyboy came out nearly unscathed, except for a bruise across his back from where the jacket caught fire and a few minor burns. Despite the fact that Dally had scorched one of his arms and would likely be scarred for the rest of his life, he will get full use of it in a few weeks. However, not everybody was that lucky. Johnny is found in a critical condition. As the roof caved in, he had been struck by a piece of timber across his back and was suffering from several third-degree burns. He had passed out before reaching the window.
