Turn Back Time

Write a short paragraph ending with these words:  He would give anything to turn back the clock five minutes.

The young man dressed in a suit and tie crumbled to the ground in a heap with the bouquet of flowers in his hand falling to the ground.  Tears slid form his eyes as he watched in horror as the firefighters struggled to put out a massive fire that consumed the house that his girlfriend lived in.  He didn't understand how this horrible tragedy happened within five minutes he was gone.  It was only five minutes.  He was going to propose to her that night after taking her out on a fancy date, but if was five minutes too late.  The man had forgotten the flowers and ran down the street to purchase a bouquet of flowers for her before coming back to see her house engulfed in flames.  He would give anything to turn back the clock five minutes.
