Who wants to be president?

5.

 The government building was noisy and crowded the next morning. The Prime Minister got out of the car, not looking at anyone and without greetings, prompt went to his office. He was never able to sleep that night, despite a large portion of sleeping pills. All the bright and disgusting details of the death in the fire of his friend President Konstantin did not disappear from his mind. The investigators probe this extraordinary incident informed him that the entire combustion process took only three and a half minutes. And all this very much resembled cases of spontaneous human combustion known from time immemorial. When people on a sudden were flared up from a fire of unknown origin and fast burned out. In order for the entire body and even the bones to turn into a heap of ashes, the combustion temperature had to be 2 – 2,5 a thousand degrees Celsius. The Prime Minister ordered his assistants to collect information on this subject.

 At 10:00, the government meeting began. All the Ministers already knew what had happened. They decided to inform the population of the country about the sudden death of President Konstantin. As a result of an accident and without details. And declare three days of mourning. According to the Constitution, the successor and interim president appointed Prime Minister Martin. His address to the people scheduled for 9:00 pm.

 After discussing economic issues and further political action, the new President Martin ended the government meeting. And asked not to congratulate on his new position because he wasn't feeling well.

 Returning to his office, he sat in an armchair for half an hour, closing his eyes and trying not to think about anything. A call from an assistant with a message about the readiness of the ordered information brought him back to reality.

 The report informed: Stories about spontaneous combustion of persons were known in the remote past. This called the wrath of God, because the victim burned very quickly under the influence of supernatural fire. People believed that a person was incinerated by Satan, burned by the "devil's fire". Because having sold his soul to the Prince of Darkness, he then violated their secret agreement and was overtaken by the inevitable retribution. However, such cases began recording officially, including in police documents, only from the 18th century. Barely about 300 such events have recorded worldwide.

 Martin was especially interested in the confirmed facts of spontaneous combustion of living people. Whether these cases of spontaneous combustion were somehow connected with photographs or portraits of burnt people was left unknown.

 According to the evidence, the ignition always began in the center of the body, in the solar plexus area. The flame came from within the person. The burning continued for several minutes at an extremely high temperature. As if the flesh consisted of a combustible substance. Frequently, when the body was completely burnt to ashes, the hands and feet remained unburned.

 In the crematorium, corpses are incinerated for 4-5 hours at a temperature of 1600 degrees Celsius. And even so have to crush the bones.

 There have also been stories of people being able to set objects on fire from a distance.

Using only psychic energy, the power of thought.

 Bottom line: Spontaneous human combustion is a very rare anomalous phenomenon. Without a rational explanation, an unsolved mystery.

 Acting President Martin told the secretary not to disturb him and plunged into deep thought. He knew the real attitude the people of the republic to the government and power well. And of course he knew about his unpopularity. An hour later, he went home.

 

 At 21:00, several television channels began broadcasting an address to the nation by Acting President Martin. Unexpectedly for everyone, after expressing condolences on the death of President Konstantin, he announced his resignation from all posts due to illness. And said he was leaving the country for treatment abroad.
