       The flames engulf the walls of the house, devouring everything so rapidly and mercilessly. The neighbors in the wealthy area called 112 and are praying for rescue to come as soon as possible, there's nothing that they can do but watch the grande house burn in the monstrous fire, which makes it glow in the neighborhood like a dying star in the cold and dark galaxy.

The neighbors are afraid that someone might be inside the m dying house, stuck and unable to escape the Hell they're trapped in. One of the guards who stood outside the gates of the house calls the owners and thankfully gets in touch with them.

"Hello??"

"Hello?! Sir! Sir, I'm so sorry sir, but your house is on fire! The entirety of it is burning in flames!!"

"What?? What do you mean by that?!"

"I don't know what happened, sir, but one moment everything was fine and the next the house just blew up in flames!!"

The line goes silent for a moment, only the sound of crackling flames and the cries of people around the place fill in the silence.

"My son! Where is he?!" The owner's voice is loud, angry, and somewhat terrified. "Tell me that my son is with you!"

The guard's mouth runs dry as there's no trace of the young boy at all, he thought that the owners took their son with them when they went out, but it seems like he's probably stuck in the dying house, burning with it.

"Can you hear me?! My son! WHERE IS HE—"

The guard hangs up the call and breathes heavily, feeling himself about to break down in tears at the thought of the young 12-year-old boy dying inside the house. He can imagine the boy screaming inside for help, crying and suffocating; burning. He feels guilty and horrible about failing his job of guarding the house and protecting its owners. They trusted him... they trusted him with their lives. The little boy used to play with him and always gave him candy when coming back from his classes.

The phone rings and rings and rings — the same man calling him again and again and again.

The sound of the sirens echoes around the neighborhood. The firefighters, police, and ambulance arrive at the scene and they quickly jump into action. They try to put down the monstrous flames and save whatever is left of the property...
