You're fifteen." Happy Birthday!" Your mom yells with joy. You keep a blank face." Here, let's move these." She rips the drawings out of your hands, putting them aside."Your cake is ready. How about we go get a slice?" She rolls you to the kitchen, where a one layered cake sits, with unlit candles. Mom gets a lighter and lights the fifteen candles that surround the words 'Happy Birthday Corrine!' In blue frosting, your favorite color. " Your brother is out with that girl. I'm sorry he couldn't be here." Yet another burn." Let me go get my phone to take your video."
Mom ran down stairs, that must be where her phone is. Soon you feel heat rise near you. You turn your head to see a fire has started from the candles. Your eyes widen from panic. You look around. You must get up! You start to move out of your chair and for the first time in years... you stand up. Your shaky legs leave the seat onto the floor. You need to call for help, you start to cry. Why can't you scream? You squeeze your eyes shut."Mo-mo-mom," you scream," Mom!" you scream louder."Mom help!" You run toward the stairs, still wobbly. Your mom runs up the stairs with a face of shock," Corrine? Wh- how-" she freezes, seeing the fire. She quickly grabs your hand and leads you outside and calls 911.
