I sit, bleeding through my head, scorched thoroughly, lying on a soft cotton stretcher. My brown hair tumbles in my face and I'm wheeled into an ambulance on the stretcher. My body feels like it is engulfed in flames.
I close my eyes and think of happy things. Puppies, rainbows, Froot Loops. The pain slightly subsides. But then thoughts of my parents cross through my mind. My brain starts flinging itself around inside my skull in terror.
I suddenly feel dizzy and tired. I manage to hear the nurse say something about my parents... how they were dead... The words engrave themselves in my mind as a heart-wrenching reminder of who I could have saved.
I have one thought as I drift into a hazy sleep...
Why me?
