Preface:
She blinked and everything changed. The day had started out with her finally marrying the man she loved. The clichéd best day of her life where their guests danced, laughed, drank, and all the worries of world were left to their own devices for one night. Instead after that split second when her eyes reopened everything was covered with a thick layer of smoke. Her body burned and a sudden terror set in. "Dante!" She screamed out for her new husband. "Dante!" Lulu's eyes wandered across the room taking in the sight of mangled bodies. People hunched over their love ones as person by person got dragged out of what remained of the building. "Dante!" she cried again through the never ending orchestra of coughs.
In a montage of events she watched her father-in-law find his son on the ground and lift him on to his back the best he could manage in order to slowly drag Dante out of the burning building. Inflamed rafters fell around them and on to some of their friends while narrowly missing others. She felt herself being pulled and dragged out to the lawn where the many that had escaped waited for sirens they could hear coming up the distant road.
Sneak Peak:
The aftermath of the explosion is brought to the hospital, where two people definitely die, and one person might.
Author's Note:
This is my experiment. This story is based off events that happened on the Australian soap Home and Away. They've done storylines I've never seen done on US soaps, but also the way their storylines are handled are incredibly smart. They don't drag things out for months on end majority of the time. The experiment is having ready made inspiration, because basically I can watch the episodes on youtube and write. I'm not completely plagiarizing the story though and just switching the character names. No one character in this story is based off one single character and events in the other story, but mainly the plot that takes place is being ripped. There is some creative effort from me going into the story. All the episodes are available on youtube. Just search "Home and Away 4212". The story starts based on 4212 and basically ends on 4231. It might contain minor spoilers for this story, but I very very very highly recommend watching.
I hope you all like the story and please remember to comment.
Ps. Don't worry. The Chapters will be much much much much MUCH longer.
