    I'm not sure, but my guess is he was too late to stop an execution? The paper was the governor's pardon (or whoever can pardon a prisoner)> The flash of light and loud noise is a gun (or multiple guns) being shot.

    Source(s): Just a guess.

    he got a papercut, dropped the flashlight it turned on. light travels faster than sound so the light came before the loud noise. He cried cause it must of been a deep paper cut and dropped the heavy asz flash light on his baby toe.

    He's in a nuthouse and scared of flashes of light and noises.

    OR hes trying to escape jail and was shot in the leg therefore starts to cry from teh pain.

    While he was running there was a flash of lightning followed by the roar of thunder and being scared of thunderstorms, he fell on his knees and started crying while praying to GOD for comfort.

    He was trying to save someone from Execution. The paper was the pardon, the flash was the electric chair and he's crying cause he didn't make it in time.
