Chapter Six: Fire
Flames burned, consuming everything around it. Burning…burning…burning…
I sat up in bed, the smell of smoke hung in the air like a fog. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think. All I knew was that I had to get out of the house. I coughed and threw myself from my bed onto the ground. I crawled out of the room and down the stairs. I found the front door and crawled, coughing onto the front lawn. I couldn't breathe…
I awoke in a white room with floral wallpaper. I didn't know where I was or how I got there. The only thing I remembered was the fire.
Kitty came into the room a little while later.
"Hey," she said, sitting in a nearby chair. "How are you feeling?"
"What happened?"
"There was a fire."
"No kidding," I muttered.
"Your mother…"
"What? No. I don't believe you."
"She didn't make it out in time."
Tears began to roll down my cheeks and onto the white linen.
