The Fire Continued
In Book, Chapter 1 on June 2, 2009 at 1:24 pmAs Jean and Ann Marie slept and Elisa hunted for decorations, a tiny spark popped out of the fireplace and landed on Jean’s jacked. The pop was too soft to be heard, and unless you were looking right at the fire, the spark
was too tiny to be seen. The spark sat and smoldered on the jacket for about ten minutes until a small flame emerged. The flame grew until it eventually consumed the entire jacket and the chair it rested upon. The flame then climbed up one side of the curtains caught the ceiling on fire, then climbed down the other side of the curtains and engulfed the furniture in the room. By now the entire room was filled with smoke and flames, and the smoke started to billow down towards the bedrooms.
Jean immediately woke up from the smell of the smoke. He jumped out of bed and grabbed the jacket and pair of boots he got his hands on, and ran to Ann Marie’s room to wake her. When he entered her room she was
already awake sitting on her bed holding her handkerchief. Jean grabbed her jacket and boots and Ann Marie quickly put them on. Jean then grabbed Ann Marie’s hand and started the path to safety. As they were making their way out Ann Marie saw pieces of burning furniture, small pieces falling from the roof, and their whole house slowly being destroyed. When they finally got outside Jean told her to stay there because he was going back inside to get her mother. Just as he was about to turn and run inside the framework started to collapse upon itself, and there was nothing he could do but watch in horror. He grabbed Ann Marie and he began to cry. All Ann Marie could do was stand in his arms and watch the rubble burn from the corner of her eye. Not a single tear was shed.
