The Blazing Fire - Florence


The Blazing Fire

The last thing I knew, I was lying in my bed. Smoke drifted up my nostrils as I fell asleep to a scream. I woke up to a sizzling noise. My body felt heavy and unable to move. I was sticky all over, dizzy too. A wave of scalding air washed over me. It felt like I was the sand, heavy, wet and in pain. My hand felt sore and the pain in my leg was excruciating. I heard screams and yells. As I limped to the window my body was red and burnt. Firemen stood outside telling the people gathered on the streets not to panic. My head hurt and it was then I first felt the torturous glow.
