The day was like any normal day. Everyone was acting like they usually would. No one was upset, and everything was as calm as it could be. One minute everything was normal, then everything was burning. The flames were engulfing everything in its path not caring about what it is destroying. I don't understand how this could happen. How and why would someone do something like this? Are they crazy? What happened that caused this fire? Nothing's making sense right now, and it doesn't help that there is black smoke in the air right now. Breathing is becoming difficult by the minute, so maybe I should start running towards safety. Though, I can't see anything that could be safety. Everyone was headed to the same place, but the place was about a yard away from the fire. Why don't they get farther away from the fire? Do they not understand that they are going to die if they all go there? I am not going to follow them to just die. I rather take the chance of surviving by running in the opposite direction of the fire. The fire seems to be heading North, so that means I am going South. Those people are all going to die, because the building they are all headed to is North. Goodbye to everyone who may survive or die.
It has been a whole year since that fire, and I am the only known survivor of the fire. I knew that they were going to die, but honestly there wasn't time to save them considering there was too much noise and smoke. I don't miss any of them due to not being close to anyone there, and the fact that parents were located in another town. There was no one important to miss. The parents were angry that their children had been allowed to die without knowing who their parents were. Parents and children aren't allowed to meet each other until they are having children of their own. The last time they have seen us would be when we ever see each other is when we are able to start crawling. Parents can try all they want to keep us, but that will only result in their deaths. They need to wait just a little over a decade. I am allowed to see my parents now, because I saw all my "friends" die in front of my eyes. I don't want to see them for that means that I need to completely grow up, and I would rather stay the way I am right now. I rather be alone, too.
There are people who control us, and they are heartless people. They believe that I could take the place of one of them one day. I don't want one of their places, I want to be alone for the rest of my short life. Becoming one of them means living until you are replaced by someone new. I don't want to live more than I should. I can't wait for them to realize that I don't want to be like them, and they should find someone else. I wonder if there is something that could change my mind, though. I don't believe that there is anything that they do that could make me want to become them. I also wonder what it would be like to be them. I think that may be a reason to become one of them. I have lived under their control, and maybe I should just be like them. They are allowed to be by themselves. They chose what they want to do, and they can do what they want when they want.
I have made my final decision about joining them. I am going to become one of them. I hope that this isn't a bad idea, because then I have decades to have this regret on my conscious. The people are happy with my choice, and they are rushing my ceremony that will make me one of them. The ceremony is suppose to be magnificent, and everyone is suppose to watch. I hate that everyone is taking joy out of this considering that the ceremony is most likely going to be boring. I can't wait to see what happens though.
I have started my new life, and I am happy that I chose what I did. I am alone for the most part. I don't have to deal with anyone anymore. I am finally happy, alone, and not surrounded by irritating people. I have my ideal life for now. I am dreading that one day, I will have to give up my new life. Hopefully, I leave when I am ready to leave. The person who gave me their place was happy that they were free to die finally. I hope that is me.
