Chapter 51: Pants on Fire

Emmett and I both screamed as the entire desk was engulfed in flames in only five seconds. The heat collected with the other candles and oils, sending off spark.

"Oh my god! Oh my god. Emmett what do we do?" we both backed up to the door.

"I got it." Emmett grabbed a coat hanging behind the door and began beating the flames with it. I wasn't doing much good as it was beginning to burn as well.

As Emmett flung the coat back one more time it snapped back on to his pants setting them on fire.

"Emmett" I screamed.

Have you ever seen those cartoons where the character tries to run as if that is going to extinguish the fire? Yeah . . . I really did try not to laugh. I failed

"Stop, drop, and roll, Em," I managed to get out between gut wrenching laughter.


I would like to dedicate this chapter to my son who has learned the whole "Liar Liar Pants On Fire." Oh the joy that will be in my house from this day on . . .
