A House on Fire
A fire accident I witness That eventful day I could still remember that it was at 6.50am just as I about to leave my house to school I heard siren growls and blares, and engine howls - with red light snap on - its way passing my house.

Black clouds drift murderously; roofing tars bubble and hiss as the roof itself groans like a comatose dinosaur, reminding you the whole thing could go any minute -- and you with it. The walls howl in bestial agony. It is the most horrifying, and wonderful thing I have ever seen.
