Introduction
T-The smoke alarms. The smell of smoke... The yelling...
I can feel it all.
"GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER! NOW!" My father said, trying desperately to keep calm and think of an idea.
I stand there, shook. Looking at everything is either already burnt to a crisp or still on fire.
Smoke goes through the air and constant coughing comes with it. My mother comes back with a fire extinguisher and hands it to my dad.
"Go get Hanako out of here, I'll go grab our things and find the dog." My dad said, shaking. He's obviously scared...
"P-Please, promise me you'll be okay." My mother said in a dire, shaking tone.
"...I'll be okay." My father said. My mother nods and he runs off.
My mother runs to me. "Okay, sweetie? Look at me."
I look to my mother, shaken by everything.
"We're going to get out of here and get outside. Then your father will be out. I promise." My mother said in an extremely fragile and fearful tone. She acts confident but she's obviously scared.. ..A-Am I going to make it out of this?
I nod gently and she grabs my hand, running to the door. Before we can a piece of wood falls down and smashes in front of the door, lighting on fire and blocking our path.
I yelp at the fall and tumble down, staring at it. My mother begins to panic.
She starts talking to herself. "What are we going to do? Oh god, oh god, oh god!" my mother said, crying.
She looks around at the fire slowly coming towards us. My father yelling is heard upstairs.. ..I-Is he...
My mother turns to me, tears running down her face. She grabs me and covers me as tightly as she can.
"..E-Everything will be okay."
