Blazing Fate

The room slowly began filling with smoke as the flames engulfed the building. Creeping closer to where I sat trapped, knowing my fate as been sealed. As the flames began eating away the door and walls. I closed my eyes only wishing I could have said goodbye. I could feel the heat inching closer to my sitting form.

My throat burning as I coughed, gagging on more smoke. Books, clothes, my bed and dresser be coming nothing more then ash, unable to withstand the scorching flames. How the building collapsed around me, burning wood missing me by inches. I could hear others screaming, crying out for help when none would come.

The flames creeping closer by the second, I watch as they licked across my body. I expect to feel pain, to see my skin burn from the heat. Yet I felt warmth as they slowly consumed my body, fear washed over me, unable to comprehend what was happening. Staring down at my hands as I sat in the middle of a raging fire, unharmed.

My skin held a light glow to it, whether it was coming from me or the flames eluded me.
