Fire
By: Castanet
Flames spread across the floor
Destroying everything it touches
Carpet burns
Plastic melts
Paper shrivels
Letters and schoolwork
Books and pamphlets lost
Appliances gone forever
Flames creep up the walls to lick at the ceiling
They spread to the ceiling
Walls and floor and ceiling are destroyed
Wind carrying the flames further once the roof comes into play
Water from hoses attempts to douse the fire
It rages on
Neighbors stare in horrified awe
They see no sign of the occupants of the home caught aflame
Minutes tick by and pretend to be hours
Water appears to do nothing
An axe to part of the house brings down half a wall
More water douses more fire
Finally the flames have died
Charred wood and blackened furniture the only thing left
Half the house gone and completely see-through
Neighbors leave
Firefighters ride back to their station to wait for another call of a fire raging out of control
Author's note: I know this is terrible, but this is only my second attempt at something like this. Last night one of my neighbors lost their home to a fire like this. I just had to write SOMETHING. I normally write stories, but sometimes a story is too much and unnecessary.
