The fire raged on behind me, I looked around trying to get my bearings inside of the smokey glazed room. The only recognizable thing was the grandfather's clock ticking between the cackling of fire.

I slowly strode forward, careful not to burn myself. Smoke constantly collided against my lungs, suffocating me, but I pushed forward like the trooper I was.

Searing pain shot through my leg as I had gently rubbed against the burning couch. Multiple burning red spots appeared on my legs, but I only winced in pain, not daring to look down.

I made it into the kitchen, and above our sink was a small window. I placed my arm onto the bright red metal, hissing sounds escaping my lips from the excruciating pain, but I pushed myself up.

My hands were bright red with from pulling with all my strength to open the window. Gashes were scattered throughout my body from the various broken furniture on the ground. Innumerable burns were scattered around my body from the smoke and fire.

With the help of firefighters who assisted in pulling me out from the window, I made it acrossed the lawn towards the emergency vehicles which flashed red and blue, not too far from me...
